The landmark, Pulitzer Prize–nominated, bestselling illustrated history, updated for the fiftieth anniversary of the Vietnam War. When it was originally published, the twenty-five-volume Vietnam Experience offered the definitive historical perspectives of the Vietnam War from some of the best rising authors on the conflict. This new and reimagined edition updates the war on the fifty years that have passed since the war’s initiation. The official successor to the Pulitzer Prize–nominated set, The American Experience in Vietnam combines the best serious historical writing about the Vietnam War with new, never-before-published photos and perspectives. New content includes social, cultural, and military analysis; a view of post-1980s Vietnam; and contextualizing discussion of US involvement in the Persian Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Even if you own the original, The American Experience in Vietnam is a necessary addition for any modern Vietnam War enthusiast. Praise for The American Experience in Vietnam “The heart of the book is a well-written, objectively presented history of the war that includes a lot of military history.” —Vietnam Veterans of America

Dr. Gary Benedict, President, The Christian and Missionary Alliance "...Charlotte is a master story teller!" Dr. Marvin Eyler, Former Chaplain, First Marine Division, Danang 1970-71 "Charlotte Stemple's exciting and informative new memoir is compelling reading. I recommend this captivating book to lay persons, to mission historians, and to military veterans."

Genre: History
ISBN: 0786487585

From 1969 to 1974 Ehrhart was just Passing Time. His reentry into the "world" began with his enrollment as a 21-year-old freshman (and token Vietnam vet) at Swarthmore College. At first simply trying to bury his past, Ehrhart slowly if inexorably came to understand what happened to him, and why, in Vietnam. Interspersed are flash-backs to the war itself. It is the story of political--and personal--awakening. As the war dragged on, the United States' deceitful involvement and its perpetuation of fallacies and lies about the war's conduct forced Ehrhart to confront his own feelings about his government, country, and self. Throughout, the reader shares with Ehrhart his odyssey through naivete, growing awareness, angry withdrawal and, finally, a measure of peace.
