About this product

Product Information

The Vietnam War was the defining event of recent U.S. history, a tragic struggle that cost the lives of 58,000 Americans and 970,000 Vietnamese. The three-volume Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War, edited by Spencer Tucker, has been hailed as the most comprehensive reference work on that watershed event. Now Tucker has produced an abridged one-volume edition, a miracle of concision that includes virtually all the entries found in the parent volume, in condensed form. Here are more than 900 alphabetically arranged entries--plus over 200 primary source documents--that illuminate every aspect of the Vietnam War. There are entries on Buddhists, defoliation, post-traumatic stress disorder, the fall of Ngo Dinh Diem, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The volume covers military and domestic fronts; air, land, and sea campaigns and battles; weapons, strategies, and tactics; key Vietnamese and American figures; the anti-war movement and international repercussions of the war; and the impact of the war on film, art, literature, and society. The volume also includes important background information, such as the developments that led to U.S. involvement in the war and postwar Vietnamese history to the present. Tucker provides extensive coverage of both American and Vietnamese perspectives, and has incorporated numerous entries by Vietnamese contributors.

Reviews
"The Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War is a solid reference tool and suitable for the shelves of high schools, universities, and those interested in the Vietnam War. As the evolution in studying Vietnam continues, this work will continue to contribute to our understanding."--The Journal ofMilitary History, "One of the outstanding features...is the attention given to the Vietnamese side, to the Vietnamese history and to the Vietnamese participants in the tragic events of the war."--Times Literary Supplement"Insightful and carefully crafted to describe a debate rather than take sides in it....The 900-odd entries cover almost every imaginable aspect of the war and its impact on America, with a wealth of cultural and political context."--Washington Post, "One of the outstanding features...is the attention given to the Vietnamese side, to the Vietnamese history and to the Vietnamese participants in the tragic events of the war."-- Times Literary Supplement "Insightful and carefully crafted to describe a debate rather than take sides in it....The 900-odd entries cover almost every imaginable aspect of the war and its impact on America, with a wealth of cultural and political context."-- Washington Post, "One of the outstanding features...is the attention given to the Vietnamese side, to the Vietnamese history and to the Vietnamese participants in the tragic events of the war."--Times Literary Supplement "Insightful and carefully crafted to describe a debate rather than take sides in it....The 900-odd entries cover almost every imaginable aspect of the war and its impact on America, with a wealth of cultural and political context."--Washington Post, "The 900-odd entries in this reference cover almost every imaginable aspect of the war and its impact on America, with a wealth of cultural and political context....They are insightful and, for the most part, carefully crafted to describe a debate rather than take sides in it....The three-pageoverview of Vietnamese history by Spencer C. Tucker, a VMI professor who served as an Army intelligence analyst during the war, imparts a sense of coherence and perspective on the war as something much older and larger than a Cold War containment struggle."--The Washington Post, "[This] book is...an invaluable source for questions and details about the war and the course of Vietnamese politics going back to the French colonial days. All the personalities are mentioned: generals and politicians, poets and protesters, journalists and priests, heroes and fools."--TheCommercial Appeal, "One of the outstanding features of these volumes is the attention given to the Vietnamese side, to the Vietnamese history and to the Vietnamese participants in the tragic events of the war."--Times Literary Supplement (on the three-volume edition), "A remarkable resource. As extensive as anything we'll likely see in several years."--Library Journal
