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"-- Audience:  Ages 8-12.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Kaimuki Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 959.7043 OC WhatWas Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 959.7043 OC   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 959.7043 OC   Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList
