Customer Reviews

This book is a Vietnam War Almanac

Very well balanced book in an almanac form. This covers places and chronological events. There are many charts, maps and significant pictures to support the information. There is a very descriptive table of contents. You can see that Colonel Harry G. Summers, Jr. has a very good understanding of the region and events leading up to and after the Vietnam War. I picked this book because it is one of the few that include an armored reconnaissance unit, the First Squadron, 10 Cavalry. Also the other units we travel with it in the Central Highlands in II Corps. Being an almanac, not enough information was given to tell the feel of the location. This book is well worth the cost.

Great
