  This series examines the major historical topics through a mixture of narrative and analysis of the key issues involved. Each book is designed to introduce the reader to a wide range of contemporary sources and aims to encourage readers in the handling and assessment of original historical material. Charting the history of the war in Vietnam from French rule to the end of American intervention, this book analyzes how both France and the USA were defeated in long and bloody conflicts. It explores the aims of the protagonists and discusses why America turned away from the war after 1968 and why, with its technological superiority, it was unable to defeat a Third World country.
