N2  - Begins with the history of the emergence of Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese nationalist movement and explains why the United States opted to intervene in Vietnam despite pessimism over American military prospects there. The repeated escalations of the war and the causes and consequences of American defeat are also covered. The second part of the book focuses on the major US political and social movements of the 1960s - liberalism, civil rights, women's liberation, movements protesting the war, and other youth culture movements- and how they were interrelated with the war in Vietnam
