An engaging and enlightening new account of the progression, impact, and legacy of the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was the first major conflict to be televised, and the public's response to images beamed directly into their living rooms played an important role in the eventual outcome of the war and in the decisions of the American military command. Packed with photographs, posters and other images that evoke the period, this volume traces the history of American involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1975. Six short essays and nearly 50 chronological entries highlight the places, people, key events and important questions of the era. More than 40 years have passed since the Vietnam War came to an end, but its far-reaching impact continues to reverberate today. Grounded in recent scholarship, The Vietnam War integrates multiple perspectives as it brings home the complexity of one of the momentous events of the twentieth century. AUTHORS: David Parsons is a social and cultural historian of 20th century America, teaching at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, New York University. His primary research interests include the Vietnam War in American memory, social and political protest movements of the 1960s and 1970s, and the shifting landscape of media and technology. He also hosts a weekly podcast called The Nostalgia Trap that uses personal biographies to explore the social, political, and cultural history of the past several decades.Marci Reaven is vice president for History Exhibitions, New-York Historical Society.
