(4) 4-6 First Battles series. Though at times bogged down with tedious details, this is a thorough look at two incidents (one substantiated, the other often considered to be fabricated) that resulted in U.S. escalation in Vietnam. Black-and-white photos do little to break up the text, which quotes participants extensively. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution granting unprecedented war-making powers to the president is appended. Timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
