The Vietnam War: A Concise International History by Mark Atwood Lawrence

4.0

I'm rating this based on how useful it is for someone who wants to learn about the Vietnam War without much prior knowledge. I had to read this for my class on the Vietnam War and this was super helpful. I think the one thing that could make it better is if there had been a bit more personal experiences added from soldiers or Vietnamese citizens. I went into this with shamefully little knowledge on the Vietnam War and I can honestly say now that I feel like I am well educated on the topic, so for that reason I would definitely recommend this. Combining this with Appy's book containing interviews provides a solid basis of understanding the war.
