10,000 Days of thunder summary


10,000 Days of thunder
Summary



This is a true story based in Vietnam in the time of the 1960s to the early 1970s, when a massive war breaks out which will be known as the Vietnam war. North Vietnam is a communist country wanting dominance over the south of Vietnam. South Vietnam will not have a communist power so they go to war. The south also has the United states of America on there side and they also join the fight.The orgins of the Vietnam war started with a man named Ho Che Mihn. Ho wanted independence from the French when Vietnam was a colony to them. After World war 2, Ho only had one solution to the problem, he had to take Vietnam by force and at the beginning of the 1950s, Ho and his army of soldiers went to war  with French forces in Vietnam, Ho won the war but died before he saw Vietnam at peace once and forall and from that point on Vietnam was devided from North to South.

My opinion on 10,000 Days of thunder was it was a very intresting book which I enjoyed very much because I`ve wanted to learn about the Vietnam war for a very long time and it was worth the wait. It was also very interesting to find out about the secret missions and scandles that happend in the war.

I would recommend this book to young war historians who enjoy finding funny facts you would not expect.I would not recommend this book to people who would like action because it would bore them to death with the lack of exciting action scenes and cool charcters.
