THE VIETNAM WAR - GEOFFREY C WARD KEN BURNS KAR...

**The New York Times Bestseller** **The book of the landmark documentary  The Vietnam War  by
Ken Burns and Lynn Novick** The definitive work on the Vietnam War  the conflict that came to
define a generation  told from all sides by those who were there. More than forty years after
the Vietnam War ended  its legacy continues to fascinate  horrify and inform us. As the first
war to be fought in front of TV cameras and beamed around the world  it has been immortalised
on film and on the page  and forever changed the way we think about war. Drawing on hundreds of
brand new interviews  Ken Burns and Geoffrey C. Ward have created the definitive work on
Vietnam. It is the first book to show us the war from every perspective: from idealistic US
Marines and the families they left behind to the Vietnamese civilians  both North and South 
whose homeland was changed for ever  politicians  POWs and anti-war protesters  and the
photographers and journalists who risked their lives to tell the truth. The book sends us into
the grit and chaos of combat  while also expertly outlining the complex chain of political
events that led America to Vietnam. Beautifully written  this essential work tells the full
story without taking sides and reminds us that there is no single truth in war. It is set to
redefine our understanding of a brutal conflict  to launch provocative new debates and to shed
fresh light on the price paid in 'blood and bone' by Vietnamese and Americans alike.
