Product Information
"Partridge proves once again that nonfiction can be every bit as dramatic as the best fiction."* America's war in Vietnam. In over a decade of bitter fighting, it claimed the lives of more than 58,000 American soldiers and beleaguered four US presidents. More than forty years after America left Vietnam in defeat in 1975, the war remains controversial and divisive both in the United States and abroad. The history of this era is complex; the cultural impact extraordinary. But it's the personal stories of eight people-six American soldiers, one American military nurse, and one Vietnamese refugee-that create the heartbeat of Boots on the Ground. From dense jungles and terrifying firefights to chaotic helicopter rescues and harrowing escapes, each individual experience reveals a different facet of the war and moves us forward in time. Alternating with these chapters are profiles of key American leaders and events, reminding us of all that was happening at home during the war, including peace protests, presidential scandals, and veterans' struggles to acclimate to life after Vietnam. With more than one hundred photographs, award-winning author Elizabeth Partridge's unflinching book captures the intensity, frustration, and lasting impacts of one of the most tumultuous periods of American history. * Kirkus Reviews, starred review of Marching for Freedom

Praise for Boots on the Ground by Elizabeth Partridge: "This fascinating, comprehensive plunge into the Vietnam War finds its heart and soul in six rich, diverse interviews that Partridge conducted with veterans, each of whom recounts their experience with such effortlessness that it's as if they never left the war-and, in some ways, perhaps they haven't. Their stories are woven into a sweeping, chronolgoical narrative of the war, which delivers the facts, nicely pitched for the age range, while taking significant looks at notable protesors, politicians, and presidents, whose beliefs, and, at times, misguided patriotism dramatically affected America's involvement in the conflict." -- Booklist, starred review "Emphasizing the lasting emotional legacy of the war for those who served, even as the rest of the country seemed content to put it behind them, Partridge's narrative storytelling is incisive and masterfully woven together." -- Kirkus, starred review "This indispensable volume brings a wiseand humane lens to a confused and brutal conflict." -- The Horn Book, starred review Praise for Marching for Freedom by Elizabeth Partridge: "Elizabeth Partridge takes the path off its pedestal and shows how ordinary people, children among them, can sometimes tip the balance and help determine the outcome of events. . . . Drawing on archival photographs and interviews with marchers who were as young as 10 at the time, Partridge swiftly sets the stage for the political war of nerves that culminated in the walk from Selma to Montgomery." -- The New York Times Book Review " Effective and meaningful archival photographs, quotes, poems, and songs are woven throughout the narrative, giving readers a real sense of the children's mindset and experiences." -- School Library Journal, starred review "A perfect balance of energetic prose and well-selected, breath-taking photographs ." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "A sharply focused historical narrative for a younger audience. . . . Partridge once again demonstrates why she is almost peerless in her photo selection." -- The Horn Book , starred review "The vivid text is filled with quotes collected from Partridge's personal interviews. . . . Every spread brings readers up close to the dramatic, often violent action." -- Booklist, starred review "A dramatic and a memorable statement ." -- VOYA, starred review, Praise for Marching for Freedom by Elizabeth Partridge: "Elizabeth Partridge takes the path off its pedestal and shows how ordinary people, children among them, can sometimes tip the balance and help determine the outcome of events. . . .
