With more than 58,000 casualties and 300,000 wounded, at a cost of more than $130 billion, the Vietnam War became one of the most divisive conflicts in American history. The scars left by the war can still be felt today, making it crucial that we have the facts about this watershed event. Vietnam War Almanac contains a chronological history of the war in Vietnam, with day-by-day listings of the war on the ground, in the air, and at sea; international and U.S. events; and a biographical dictionary of major military and civilian figures. It may be impossible to fully understand such a complicated and horrible struggle, but for the families of veterans and for historians, the thorough presentation here, along with its extensive bibliography and index, is an excellent place to start. Coverage here includes: • The Tet Offensive • Walter L. Cronkite • The Battle of Dien Bien Phu • Vo Nguyen Giap • Ngo Dinh Diem • The Battle of Ia Drang Valley • Robert S. McNamara • The Battle of Hamburger Hill • Abbie Hoffman • The Battle of An Loc • And much more President Nixon claimed that the war was “misreported then, and it is misremembered now.” This almanac will ensure that it is remembered correctly.

“A detailed day-by-day account of the war’s events, emphasizing the military dimensions but also touching on politics and diplomacy.” —Choice Almanac of World War I provides reports of the action on all fronts and of the events surrounding the conflict, from the guns of August 1914 to the November 1918 Armistice and its troubled aftermath. Daily entries, topical descriptions, biographical sketches, maps, and illustrations combine to give a ready and succinct account of what was happening in each of the principal theaters of war. This definitive book on the Great War by David F. Burg and L. Edward Purcell—coauthors of The World Almanac of the American Revolution—“captures the pathos and absurdity of the conflict in a way that few others have” (American Reference Books Annual). “Whereas most accounts of World War I zero in on the muddy trenches of the Western front, Burg and Purcell’s work puts that theater in the context of the larger war.” —Tallahassee Democrat “There is really nothing comparable to this volume.” —Booklist “Almanacs represent the final book(s) needed to complete a collection regarding a particular period in history. David Burg and L. Edward Purcell’s Almanac of World War I is such a book.” —BookLovers “A useful reference for the Great War.” —Paper Wars “This valuable reference book provides a day-by-day account of the First World War, with each entry divided geographically.” —Canadian Military History
