Boots on the Ground: America's War in Vietnam by Elizabeth Partridge

5.0

What I think this book does really well is give a full and comprehensive look at the Vietnam War; from our initial hopes and the introduction of troops in the early 1960s, through the reactions to and completion of the Vietnam War Memorials. I liked that the book looked through the lens of all the presidents involved in the war (Kennedy-Ford), as well as at individual experiences of service men and women. Highly recommend this for middle school+ ages, and especially to any adults who want a quick, concise, and fair examination of the Vietnam War.
