Anthology of the Vietnam War's musical legacy. Presented on 13 CDs with a 300-page book illustrated with numerous archival photographs, this collection examines the war in a powerful and unprecedented way. Over 300 music and spoken word tracks take the listener through a guided tour of this epochal period of modern history. The full-color book that accompanies the music has information on the songs and the artists who recorded them by music scholar Hugo A. Keesing; a history of the war by Vietnam historian Lois T. Vietri; and an oral history of the tunes that 'in country' vets loved best by authors Doug Bradley and Craig Werner.
