Below are some of the many Fiction and Nonfiction books written about the War in Vietnam. Or, in other words; the United States’ conflict in Vietnam.

The Vietnam War lasted for nearly 20 years from November, 1955-April, 1975.

The United States had entered into the War with Vietnam due to the United States’ fear of the spread of Communism, the United States was already worried over China becoming a Communist nation under Mao Zedong, and North Korea becoming a Communist nation under the founder of the Kim Dynasty-Kim Jong Il. As a result, the United States had feared that Communism could spread onto its own soil.

After gaining its independence from France at the end of World War II in September 1945, Vietnam went on the attack against the American invaders with a sense of confidence and ambition.
