From Andrew Wiest, the bestselling author of The Boys of ''67: Charlie Company''s War in Vietnam and one of the leading scholars in the study of the Vietnam War, comes a frank exploration of the human experience during the conflict.

Vietnam allows the reader a grunt''s-eye-view of the conflict – from the steaming rice paddies and swamps of the Mekong Delta, to the triple-canopy rainforest of the Central Highlands and the forlorn Marine bases that dotted the DMZ.

It is the definitive oral history of the Vietnam War told in the uncompromising, no-holds barred language of the soldiers themselves.
