• America's Failure in Vietnam

• Author Richard Brownell
• Published by Lucent Books

The United States intervened in Vietnam to stop the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia, and became embroiled in a decades-old struggle for control of the country. The Americans misjudged their own ability to fight a protracted guerilla conflict and underestimated the capabilities of the North Vietnamese armed forces. Political infighting at home and the growing anti-war movement across the country were also factors that led to the costly American defeat in Vietnam.

Review:

"Balanced and eloquent. Subtitles in boldface and short highlighted sections on special topics result in an attractive format."
-- School Library Journal (December 2000)
