The Vietnam War was as much a part of the tumultuous Sixties as Flower Power and the Civil Rights Movement. Five US presidents were convinced that American troops could end a war in the small, divided country of Vietnam and stop Communism from spreading in Southeast Asia. But they were wrong, and the result was the death of 58,000 American troops. Presenting all sides of a complicated and tragic chapter in recent history, Jim O'Connor explains why the US got involved, what the human cost was, and how defeat in Vietnam left a lasting scar on America"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Ages 8-12. 541 $d 20220210. 650 4 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Juvenile literature. 651 $a Vietnam $x History $y 1945-1975 $v Juvenile literature. 651 $a United States $x History $y 1961-1969 $v Juvenile literature. 651 $a United States $v Juvenile literature $x History $y 1969- 700 $a Foley, Tim, $d 1962-, $e illustrator. 856 $u http://link.overdrive.com/?websiteId=76&titleId=4238866 $3 null 856 $u https://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=70d80578-de1c-487d-860a-a91c5d48ef25&.epub-sample.overdrive.com $3 Excerpt 941 $a 1 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20220428010643.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7EFC8F32C6B811ECACA84E0150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
