They Marched Into Sunlight: War and Peace Vietnam and America October 1967 by David Maraniss (Paperback)

In a seamless narrative, Maraniss weaves together the sotries of three very different worlds: the death and heoism of soldiers in Vietname, the anger and anxiety of anitwar students back home, and the confustion and obfuscating behavior of fificials in Washington. To understand what happens to the people in these interconnected stories is to understand America's anguish. Based on thousands of primary documents and 180 on-the-record interviews, the book describes the batles that evoked cultural and political conflicts that still reverberate.
