Review: What you should know about Vietnam


What you should know about Vietnam
What you should know about Vietnam by Richard F Newcomb

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A history of Vietnam from colonial era up to the late 1967 publication this magazine-book. The focus is on then recent events from mention of Eisenhower brining in America to support France, enlargement by JFK and real escalation under LBJ. The first half is mostly year-by-year text, while the later half is mostly graphics, photographs, time lines, and more. This is largely descriptive, not investigative, journalism.
