1.Vietnam (Country Guide)Vietnam (Country Guide)
from Lonely Planet
Price: $16.31

Customer Review:
I am reviewing the L.P.2007 guide. Note: most of the other reviews are for older editions, ie. Pre-2007. I was in Vietnam January-February 2007 and used this guide.
The guide has maps that are superb and easy to use. Both the accommodations and restaurants I chose from the guide's... more info

I used this book while in Vietnam in August 2006. It was very helpful in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Cannot comment on it's usefulness in other cities.

4.Vietnam: A HistoryVietnam: A History
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $14.28

Customer Review:
This very large and very detailed book spends WAY TOO MUCH time discussing ancient Vietnamese history. For about half the book, the author goes into exhausting detail about Vietnam's history from the 10th and 11th Century. The reader is bombarded with information about every king, queen, prime... more info

5.The Rough Guide to Vietnam 5 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)The Rough Guide to Vietnam 5 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
from Rough Guides
Price: $14.95

Customer Review:
I was in Vietnam (Jan/Feb 2008) and I took with me Lonely Planet and Rough Guide, and the better of the two guides is, by a thin margin, Lonely Planet.
However, there is much to commend Rough Guide Vietnam. It is worth buying just for the section that covers the history, religion (13 pages) and... more info

from DK Travel
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:
If you want pretty pictures of a few sites in each city, buy this guidebook.
If you want the in-depth logistical information you need while traveling - doctors in Saigon, how good/bad the train really is, more than a handful of hotels/restaurants in each town, names of interesting shops - buy... more info

7.Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All SidesPatriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All Sides
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
The scope and richness of this book's personal accounts are breathtaking and unparalleled in prior Vietnam histories. It's based on 350 interviews from around the world over a period of years, 2/3 of which had to be cut to keep the book manageable - on effort alone, Mr. Appy could be applauded.... more info

8.Vietnam Wars 1945-1990Vietnam Wars 1945-1990
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Other reviewers have made it clear that this book is not really an attempt at history but is so biased that it is far more a polemic than a history book . I would however expect that someone with Ms. Young's credentials get some basic facts straight . For example on page 3 Ms. Young states that the... more info

9.The Killing Zone: My Life in the Vietnam WarThe Killing Zone: My Life in the Vietnam War
from W. W. Norton
Price: $12.10

Customer Review:
If Bob Mason's Chickenhawk was the best book about Vietnam from a chopper pilot's seat, then Fred Downs' memoir is one of the best from the grunts' point of view. Downs' story starts quietly and build slowly, in his dry, almost laconic style, to an abrupt and horrifying conclusion. The sheer... more info

from Lonely Planet
Price: $16.49

Customer Review:
I spent six weeks in May and June 2008 backpacking around Southeast Asia, and this was my primary guidebook. Overall, I found it to be helpful for the macro-level stuff: planning my itinerary, getting a general overview of each country's history, and budgeting.
I give it three stars, however,... more info
