Here is everything that you could want to know from the history to the latest developments.

Excerpt:

“The Story of Agent Orange

It is the war that will not end. It is the war that continues to stalk and claim its victims decades after the last shots were fired. It is the war of rainbow herbicides, Agents Orange, Blue, White, Purple, Green and Pink.

This never-ending legacy of the war in Vietnam has created among many veterans and their families deep feelings of mistrust of the U.S. government for its lack of honesty in studying the effects of the rainbow herbicides, particularly Agent Orange, and its conscious effort to cover up information and rig test results with which it does not agree. ”

I don’t know a lot about it but it is an easily researched topic. If this is for an assignment, I would search the online archives of the New York Times and also a good general magazine database. You might also go to a good library and look at a subject encyclopedia of the Vietnam War. The Veteran’s Association or the Vietnam Veteran’s of Aemrica would also be great sources of information; there were several veteran’s lawsuits after the Vietnam war suing for damages caused by exposure to Agent Orange.
