What can or should be done? Everyone has some sort of answer to the second question. Not so many can answer the first. This book provides the facts on which any informed answer must be based. Great public interest was aroused by the "teach-ins" on Vietnam, both in America and in Britain, at which prominent members of the governments engaged in public debate. VIETNAM is a kind of written teach-in (it is called No 1 in the Read-in series, since there will be other books of the same kind to follow.) It presents the important issues of the long drawn out campaign in Vietnam through the words of people on both sides and in many countries. The reader is left to make up his own mind where the truth lies: VIETNAM gives him the evidence in fuller and more coherent form than newspapers, magazines or television can hope to do.' [Quote from the publisher's blurb on the rear cover] ***The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, and in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America, or simply as the American War, was an undeclared war in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 01 Nov 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 Apr 1975. It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union, China, and other communist allies; South Vietnam was supported by the United States, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand and other anti-communist allies. The war is considered a Cold War-era proxy war from some US perspectives. It lasted some 19 years, with direct U.S. involvement ending in 1973, following the Paris Peace Accords, and included the Laotian Civil War and the Cambodian Civil War, resulting in all three countries becoming communist states in 1975.
