The
End
of the Line:
The Seige of Khe Sahn.
by Robert Pisor

Book
Description

A war correspondent's
searching account of a crucial battle in the Vietnam War.
It was the most spectacular battle of the entire war. For 6,000
trapped marines, it was a nightmare; for President Lyndon Johnson,
an obsession. For General Westmoreland, it was to be the final vindication
of technological weaponry; and for General Giap, the architect of
the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu, it was a spectacular ruse masking
troops moving south for the Tet offensive.
In a compelling narrative, Robert Pisor sets forth the history,
the politics, the strategies, and, above all, the desperate reality
of the battle that became the turning point of the United States's
involvement in Vietnam.

Book
Description

Marine Corps helicopter
crews and infantrymen found little glory waiting for them in faraway
Vietnam. Instead, they found themselves mired in a life-and-death
battle with tenacious Sino-Soviet pawns.
Marion Sturkey, a Marine Corps helicopter pilot in Vietnam, combines
fascinating detail with grim realism. After-Action-Reports,
Unit Diaries, and hundreds of records from the Marine Corps Archives
create the outline for his riveting chronology. Onto this framework
the author weaves personal accounts from the helicopter crews and
infantrymen. Day by day, he breathes life into this eloquent
saga of Marines at war.
The reader steps through a looking glass into the crucible of combat.
Through real men in real places -- no pseudonyms -- one sees the madness,
the passion, the love, the horror, and the loyalty shared by pilots,
aircrewmen, and infantrymen. In the end, their survival became
their victory.

Recon Command:
by
Alex
Lee

Book
Description
|
|
|
The
A Shau Valley, where the NVA was king . . . In order to prevent surprise
attacks on U.S. forces as they were pulling out of Vietnam, someone
had to be able to pinpoint the NVA's movements. That dangerous job
was the assignment of then-major Alex Lee and the Marines of the 3rd
Force Reconnaissance Company when he assumed command in late 1969.
They became the tip of the spear for Lt. Gen. Herman Nickerson's III
MAF. And each time one of Lee's small, well-motivated, well-led, and
wildly outnumbered teams was airlifted into the field, the men never
knew if the day would end violently. But whether tracking NVA
movements, recovering downed air crews, or making bomb-damage assessments
after B-52 strikes, Major Lee's Few Good Men never forgot who they
were: Each of them was in Vietnam to live like a Marine, win like
a Marine, and, if need be, die like a Marine. Forthright and
unabashed, Lieutenant Colonel Lee leaves no controversy untouched
and no awe-inspiring tale untold in this gripping account of 3rd Force
Recon's self-sacrifice and heroic achievement in the face of overwhelming
odds.
