Reviews

  • Throughout the book are an excellent selection of photographs and various organizational charts. A very well done book that provides a lot of insight into the hows and whys of seven years of war in Indochina. One of much interest and one that I can recommend to you without reservation.

    Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (May 2008)

  • Gordon L. Rottman's The US Army in the Vietnam War 1965-73 provides detail on how US Army Units operated during the war and comes from a Special Forces veteran who focuses on infantry strategies and units which supported them.
