If you are interested in the Vietnam War, you may interested in knowing about a free book (it has so few pages, 39, that I'm more comfortable calling it a booklet) about it, Vietnam War: A History From Beginning to End.

The booklet is one of the periodic (every Friday at least) freebies that a publisher called Hourly History offers.

Here's the description of the booklet:
Read On Your Computer, MAC, Smartphone, Kindle Reader, iPad, or Tablet.

The Vietnam War remains one of the most iconic events of the twentieth century. In the United States, it polarized public opinion and changed foreign policy. It destroyed the presidency of Lyndon Johnson and was the catalyst for a massively impactful protest movement. More importantly, in Vietnam, as well as surrounding areas, it caused untold destruction, death, and suffering.

Inside you will read about...

✓ Vietnam’s Past
✓ Exit the French
✓ The United States and Ngo Dinh Diem
✓ The Resistance War Against America Begins
✓ “Americanization”
✓ The American Home Front
✓ Vietnamization and President Nixon
✓ The End of the Vietnam War and Its Aftermath

Millions of Vietnamese and Cambodian people were killed, and many—including Americans—remain missing. Its origins lie in Europe’s colonial conquests, and its legacies endure to this day. Read this comprehensive, concise history of the Vietnam War.


It's an Amazon Kindle, and the webpage where you can get the free booklet is here.
