Great Battles for Boys The Vietnam War
Great Battles for Boys is the bestselling history series written just for boys — especially boys who don't like to read.Written in an engaging conversational style and filled with historical photos, Great Battles for Boys brings history to life and helps turn reluctant readers into passionate readers. Boys learn about the strategies, tactics, and weapons that won (or lost) history’s most significant military clashes.
In this installment about the Vietnam War, boys will read history from the front lines and learn about the political influences that drew America into this deadly conflict. Among the
Dien Bien A horrific battle that drove the French Army out of Vietnam in 1954.
Tet Offensive: the pivotal and bloody clash lost by Vietnam that later turned into a political victory.
Tunnel Rats: The bravest of brave soldiers in Vietnam.
And some rarely recognized battles such as Van Tuong, Mission Tango 51, Fire Support Ripcord and many more.
Boys also learn about the conflicting ideologies — democracy vs. Communism — that fueled the United States’ disastrous entry into Vietnam’s civil war.

January 2, 2024Proofing this book before giving to my nephews for Christmas. The battles are told with the factual details, even if those details are gory, but without the writing lingering in a gruesome manner that would be inappropriate for the target age-range.
Content Note: Quotes from soldiers are kept entirely accurate, including any language. D*** and h*** are the most common. No S*** or f-bombs. If you are uncomfortable with your younger boys reading that kind of language, you may wish to proof with a black market on hand.
