Max Hastings – Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy 1945-1975 (Unabridged Audiobook)
English | Size: 921.85 MB
Category: E-books

An absorbing and definitive modern history of the Vietnam War from the acclaimed New York Times best-selling author of The Secret War.

Vietnam became the Western world’s most divisive modern conflict, precipitating a battlefield humiliation for France in 1954, then a vastly greater one for the US in 1975.
