A Short History of the Vietnam War explains how the United States became involved in its longest war, a conflict that, from the outset, many claimed it could never win. It details the escalation of American involvement from the provision of military advisors and equipment to the threatened South Vietnamese, to an all-out shooting war involving American soldiers, airmen and sailors, of whom around 58,000 would die and more than 300,000 would be wounded.

Gordon Kerr is the author of A Short History of Africa, A Short History of Brazil, A Short History of China, A Short History of Europe, and A Short History of the First World War.
