Acerca de esta escucha

A history of the Vietnam War, interweaving U.S. political and cultural history with the military history of the war.

When Senator Edward Kennedy declared, "Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam," everyone understood. The Vietnam War has become the touchstone for U.S. military misadventures—a war lost on the home front although never truly lost on the battlefront. During the pivotal decade of 1962 to 1972, U.S. involvement rose from a few hundred advisers to a fighting force of more than one million. This same period saw the greatest schism in American society since the Civil War, a generational divide pitting mothers and fathers against sons and daughters who protested the country's ever-growing military involvement in Vietnam.

Meanwhile, well-intentioned decisions in Washington became operational orders with tragic outcomes in the rice paddies, jungles, and villages of Southeast Asia.

The Vietnam War: A Graphic History depicts the course of the war from its initial expansion in the early 1960s through the evacuation of Saigon in 1975, and what transpired at home, from the antiwar movement and the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to the Watergate break-in and the resignation of a president.

Having read several historical novels set during the Vietnam War, this relatively short summary of the war provided a more historically accurate picture of the context of what was happening in the US and in Vietnam’s politically and militarily. I’m not an accomplished student of history, so it was helpful to me to hear about Johnson’s focus on social change, information manipulation, the role of the media, and the influence on political events. Compelling human stories peppered throughout built connection and gave perspective. The performance was clear, articulate, and matter of fact. Overall, this was an excellent listen.

Great overview
