Summary: Caveat Emptor
Comment: Living part-time in Ha Noi, Sydney, Seoul, and getting mail in Denver, I have taught about the American-Viet Nam War in all four countries from a multi-cultural perspective. Having read and reread the paperback version, the book unfortunately shows a limited view with significant design problems.
Detailed remarks have been submitted for publication elsewhere. More later.
Rating: 5
Summary: a reviewer should read the book
Comment: As one of the authors of the book, The Vietnam War: A History in Documents, I take exception to the review from the reader in Colorado. I have seen his actual comments and he must know that we have shown them to be incorrect. He claims that we are incorrect on certain pages but in fact we had the facts correct. He is entitled to his own opinion but he is not entitled to his own set of facts. He seems to think that we should have written another kind of book. That is his privilege. It would be decent for any reviewer to comment directly on the book being reviewed rather than a book that he thinks we should have written. His comments are very close to being dishonest and seem primarily interested in disparaging the book. The controversy over the Vietnam War has not yet ended. Yours truly, John J. Fitzgerald

Summary: Myopic View of the War in Viet Nam
Comment: Unfortunately this is another myopic book about the 'Vietnam War,' that would have you believe the US fought alone in Viet Nam.
Both the design and content are seriously lacking for the intended audience, grades 7+. Important facts are left out while other facts are pathetically incorrect; most captions are mislabeled, and many 'documents' are indistinguishable from the narrative text. Sadly, even in 2003 it appears America still has Post Traumatic Stress Denial with parts of our own history.
