Booklist Review of The Vietnam War
Written in easy-to-understand text, Faust skillfully provides a framework for understanding one of the most highly controversial wars in history that began in 1955 and spanned almost 20 years, igniting protests in the U.S. and around the world. The powerful photographs and eye-catching maps further illustrate the people, countries, and conflicts of the Vietnam War.

The book includes bold words dispersed throughout and a glossary to aid young readers in comprehension. Faust delivers an engaging, neutral overview of the Vietnam War that would be an excellent addition to any library. Part of the World History: Need to Know series (6 titles).
