The Vietnam War cost the lives of more than 50,000 US soldiers, and sparked major unrest at home in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to keep North and South Vietnam from being united under a Communist regime. Through thoughtful narrative supported by fully documented quotes this title begins with A Brief History of the Vietnam War and then examines these questions: How Did Fear of Communism Lead to US Intervention in Vietnam? How Did the Tet Offensive Increase Opposition to the War? How Did Richard Nixon?s Policies Influence the War?s Outcome? What Lasting Impact Did the Vietnam War Have on the United States and Vietnam?.
