Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All Sides

** spoiler alert **
Although learning in classes and seeing artifacts of the Vietnam teaches you about the conflict, often information is missing or only partially shown. In Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All Sides by Christian G. Apply, perspectives from all walks of life are explored. This is perhaps my favorite aspect of the book, with it traveling from a ARVN perspective to that of an American nurse, or OSS advisors who met Ho Chi Minh before the formation of independent Viietnams. The book gave me outlooks I never would have thought of otherwise, and introduced me to parts of the war I had never even considered. It also gave insight into many of the thoughts of major individuals, why they did what they did, and how the war changed them afterward. In an era where Vietnam is often skewed by groups such as Hollywood, I could not recommend this book more as a research into the players as well as the daily life of those participating in the Vietnam War.
