Sounds like a most interesting book LB, and most certainly an interesting format using parallel places and actions in the same time frame...maybe it will help all of us try to understand that period in our history.

They Marched Into Sunlight: War and Peace Vietnam and America October 1967, by David Maraniss.

Here's a synopsis.
In a seamless narrative, Maraniss weaves together three very different worlds of that time:

the death and heroism of soldiers in Vietnam,

the anger and anxiety of antiwar students back home, and the confusion and obfuscating behavior of officials in Washington.

In the literature of the Vietnam era, there are powerful books about soldiering, excellent analyses of American foreign policy in Southeast Asia, and many dealing with the sixties' culture of protest, but

this is the first book to connect the three worlds and present them in a dramatic unity. To understand what happens to the people of this story is to understand America's anguish.
