The U.S. Department of the Defense has been documenting the Vietnam Conflict from the perspective of the military commanders and now has several publications to offer researchers, former military and interested public.  The latest book in the series is MACV: The Joint Command in the Years of Withdrawal, 1968-1973 (D 114.7/3:J 66).  This is the second volume by the Center for Military History to examine the Vietnam conflict from the perspective of the theater commander and his headquarters. It traces the conflict from the Communist Tet offensive of 1968 through the disestablishment of MACV in March 1973.  Over the years the role of the military evolved beyond military operations to diplomacy and pacification.  Abundant photographs are included, as are a table of troop redeployments, charts and maps.  Other titles by DOD on the Vietnam Conflict include:
