The Vietnam War — what really happened?
Boys will find out in Great Battles for Boys: The Vietnam War.

Chapters include:
-
The Battle of Dien Bien Phu: The 1954 fight that pushed the French Army out of Vietnam.
-
The Tet Offensive: the pivotal and violent clash that the North Vietnamese lost but later turned into a political victory.
-
Tunnel Rats: How the bravest of brave soldiers survived the treacherous tunnel systems.
-
Plus several rarely recognized battles such as Van Tuong and Fire Support Base Ripcord.
Boys also learn about the difference between democracy and Communism, and how that difference helped fulel the United States’ entry into another country's civil war.
