The book, America In Vietnam: The Fifteen Year War presents a comprehensive and penetrating pictorial review of the war and its aftermath, focusing on the main period of American involvement from 1960 through 1975.  "America In Vietnam: The Fifteen Year War" takes a retrospective look at the conflict from the American perspective.  To those who grew up, lived and worked through the turbulent war years the word Vietnam conjures up a series of sharply defined yet discordant images including: television footage of soldiers leaping from helicopters into rice paddies to engage the enemy; politicians and generals warning of "falling dominos" and "light at the end of the tunnel"; smoke rising from bombed out villages as jets circle overhead; the wounded being loaded aboard medical evacuation helicopters; Viet Cong bodies in the American Embassy in South Vietnam;  National Guardsmen with fixed bayonets policing American universities; Peace demonstrations; B-52s unloading their lethal bomb loads; Americans and Vietnamese running to board the last helicopter flights out of Saigon; and middle-aged men in old camouflage fatigues touching the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C..  These and many other images define America's involvement in the Vietnam War and serve to highlight one of the most divisive American events during the 20th century.  The major sections of "America In Vietnam: The Fifteen Year War" are as follows: 1) Introduction - The Fifteen-Year War; 2) Chapter One - Background To Armageddon; 3) Chapter Two - The French War; 4) Chapter Three - The Advisory Phase; 5) Chapter Four - President Kennedy's War; 6) Chapter Five - President Johnson's War; 7) Chapter Six - Rolling Thunder; 8) Chapter Seven - The War In Laos; 9) Chapter Eight - The TET offensive; 10) Chapter Nine - Vietnamization; 11) Chapter Ten - The Easter Offensive; 12) Chapter Eleven - The Final Act and 13) Chapter Twelve - Aftermath.  In addition to an informative narrative, "America In Vietnam: The Fifteen Year War" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 218 black and white photographs and 2) About 28 color photographs.  This book is 208 pages and is in very good condition.  The author is Dr. John Guilmartin.  Edition published in 1991.
