Solid overview. I've been looking up specific events mentioned in this book and will carry on my studies on this subject. I feel like it gave me a good foundation. Will update after taking the exam.

This was my first DSST, I passed by a good margin. This is a short but comprehensive overview of the war, it greatly helped in my test taking.

My daddy served in Nam, and after years of hearing his stories, I realized I don't know nearly as much about the Vietnam War as I thought I did (or as I'd like to).
This book answered all of my questions, but it has so much history to cover, it's not very in-depth. So obviously, if I wanted more information about a certain battle or about the Presidents' handlings of the war, I'd have to do some more research on my own (*gasp*).
Gives a good basis of the physical and political events leading up to the war, during the war, and ending the war.

Good overview of the Vietnam War. Not heavily detailed, but what can you expect from such a small book trying to cover so large a subject?

Honestly, a fascinating read. I couldn't help but draw parallels to what we are currently involved in.
