The Vietnam War: A Chronology of War
"Adding to the unique quality of the elegantly bound oversized volume (complete with a replica of the U.S. Vietnam Service Medal affixed to its cover) is the generous use of maps, charts and colorful combat art…The Vietnam War: A Chronology of War, is sure to be work on the war to be passed on from one generation to the next.”~VietnamMagazine"There are two varieties of coffee-table books. Some are simply for show; others look good but also contain useful and good information.The Vietnam War: A Chronology of War(Universe, 288 pp., $50) fits squarely in the latter category. Edited by Ret. Army Col. (and Vietnam veteran) Raymond K. Bluhm, Jr., the book presents a detailed, day-by-day chronology of significant military action in the Vietnam War. Said info comes from four similar “complete history” volumes put together by The Army Historical Foundation, The Naval Historical Foundation, The Marine Corps Association, and The Air Force Historical Foundation by Bluhm and fellow military historians Dale Andrade, Jon T. Hoffman, M. Hill Goodpseed, and Dik A. Daso. The Vietnam War: A Chronology of Warcontains tons of photos and illustrations, along with concise introductions to the war’s general periods (1950-64, 1965- 68, and 1969-77) and specific years. The work focuses on military action, giving only brief mention to political events. The foreword is by Sen. Jim Webb."   ~The VVA Veteran, Vietnam Veterans of America
