The Vietnam War day by day is a chronological, month-by-month approach to the conflict, allowing the reader to see at a glance the key operations on land, at sea and in the air, such as 'Cedar Falls', 'Junction City', 'Rolling Thunder' and the Tet Offensive. Maps that illustrate these operations and other engagements; as well as battles and campaigns, are included for a better understanding of the reader. The book contains all the military and political leaders of both sides who helped to shape the conflict, such as Westmoreland, Giap, Nixon, Kissinger, Abrams and Le Duc Tho. Although the major events of each month dominate the narrative, The Vietnam War Day by Day also includes lesser episodes to give the reader a comprehensive summary of the war. These include drug trafficking, rates of venereal disease, which had reached to 700 per 1000 men by 1972, American prisoners of war, and the enormous black market in South Vietnam. The Vietnam War Day by Day is a superbly illustrated account of America's most tragic war.Leo J. Daugherty is the author of 'The Vietnam War Day by Day' with ISBN 9781930983175 and ISBN 1930983174.
