Vietnam War
How to define the Vietnam War? U.S. involvement from 1955-1975, sometimes justly labeled as the Second Indochina War? French attempting to retain its colonial empire post-WWII, 1945-1954, sometimes called the First Indochina War? Japan had occupied Southeast Asia during World War II. The literature is vast and complex. For the purpose of highlighting what I have here in the store, however, you will find this page’s parameters include the end of the French, the twenty years of the U.S. presence, and some fiction and other retrospective literature to the present day.
