Vietnam: The Unwinnable War is a dramatic guide to the suffering, sacrifice, and heroism of one of the most significant and debated periods in twentieth-century history.

Expertly retold with searing imagery and accounts of the events that unfolded, this definitive visual history memorialises this controversial and bloody conflict. Also included are 20 pieces of memorabilia reproduced on the page, taken from US archives and personal collections to give an authentic and moving telling of events, from personal letters from US soldiers, US Airborne calling cards, extracts from US Army phrasebooks, and even letters sent between the Vietnamese and American governments during the fighting.

See the war through the eyes of those that experienced it first-hand and gain a deeper understanding of this historical moment and its human and political cost.
