The award-winning historians and filmmakers Geoffrey C. Ward and Ken Burns (The Civil War, Baseball, The War, The Roosevelts) present a vivid, uniquely powerful history of the Vietnam War. Rather than taking sides, this official companion to the PBS documentary series explores why the war happened the way it did, and seeks to clarify its complicated legacy. Beautifully written and richly illustrated, this is an essential work on a critical period in American history. Hardcover, 11.2" x 9.6", 640 pages.
