Boots on the Ground: America's War in Vietnam by Elizabeth PartridgeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Read this in two lunch hours and it was freaking fascinating. Love how Partridge used each chapter to focus on how one person was involved with the Vietnam War--nurses, soldiers, presidents, musicians, etc. She even includes a South Vietnamese refugee who eventually ends up in America. This is a great introduction to the war for teens and adults.
My two complaints--a few of the pictures didn't quite match up to what was being talked about on the page and I didn't want to hear from repeated people (I'm looking at you, LBJ and Nixon).
