Two captivating manuscripts in one audiobook:

• Korean War: A Captivating Guide to Korean War History • Vietnam War: A Captivating Guide to the Second Indochina War

The narrative of the Korean War in the West, and particularly in the United States, tells the tale of a conflict between two global superpowers and competing ideologies in a far-flung corner of the globe.

Some of the topics covered in the first part of this audiobook include:

• The Japanese Ascendency: 1910-1945 • A Korea Divided: The US Occupation of the South • The Forging of the North Korean State • First Blood: The Outbreak of War • Strike Hard and Strike Fast: The US Retreat • Bittersweet Victories: American Revival and China’s Decision to Cross the Yalu • How Do You Solve a Problem Like China? • The Bloody Ceasefire and Looming Bomb • The Legacy of the Korean War • And a Great Deal More that You don't Want to Miss out on!

The Vietnam War represented a watershed not only in American and Vietnamese history but also internationally. It wasn’t just a battle between two nations, but between two ideologies, two military strategies and a fight for the hearts and minds of two vastly different national populations.

Some of the topics covered in the second part of this audiobook include:

• The French and the First Indochina War • Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire: The Government of Ngo Dinh Diem • Pragmatism and Idealism • The Death of Two Catholic Presidents • Smoke and Mirrors: Johnson’s War • The American War Machine • The Tet Nightmare • Nixon and Kissinger
