I borrowed this little treasure from our local library and I’m glad I did.

For those that may not be aware, I am a huge history nerd and this was perfect. The thing I really love about this book is how it’s actual documents, or translations of actual documents that explain all sides of the Vietnam War and not a historical book with the author’s conclusions being shared.

While it’s meant for discussion in a classroom, it’s an awesome resource if you have a paper to write or just want to expand you understanding or just enjoy a good history source. If you’re a history nerd and want an interesting read, this is it.
