“What are we over here fighting for?” An American soldier asked
this question during the Vietnam War. Many other American soldiers
and citizens wondered the same thing. The conflict began when the
United States sent armed forces to defend South Vietnam against
Communist North Vietnam. It was supposed to be a brief military
operation, but it ended as a bloody, twelve-year conflict in which
thousands of American soldiers were killed. Author Deborah Kent
examines this tragic and controversial period in American history
from the first Marines arriving at Da Nang to the final airlift out
of Saigon.
