It was one of the deadliest conflicts in American history, and many of those who fought were not even entirely sure why they were there. Yes, there were vague mentions of stopping the spread of communism, but beyond this main narrative, there was so much that remained unclear. To this very day, a cloud of obscurity hangs over the history of the war in Vietnam. This book seeks to illuminate its murky past and shed light on what happened, why it happened, and how it all played out.

The Vietnamese, for their part, have a long history of repulsing foreign invaders. China tried to make Vietnam into a vassal state on numerous occasions, and had to deal with relentlessly determined insurgencies and uprisings as a result.
The next phase of the Vietnamese struggle involved its colonization by France. The grip of the French was then unexpectantly shaken loose during World War II, when Japan seized control of Vietnam. After the war, France spent precious blood and money trying to regain lost ground, but to no avail. It was after the French withdrawal that the United States was pulled into the conflict, hoping to prevent a complete communist takeover of Southeast Asia.
All of these major epochs in the history of war in Vietnam are covered at length in this book.
