This is an excellent overview of the US Army and Marine Corp in Vietnam 1965-1972. It makes a good deal of sense out of a confusing time. He shows the issues that existed and how more and more units were rushed to Vietnam, setting up failures for the future. The book shines when it comes to operations, what units served where and what they did. It delivers exactly what it says it will, excellent.

The bible source book on WWII Order of Battle. Lots of details for the researcher and curious armchair historian.

This book is not a history as such but is instead heavy on photographs. Each chapter has a short introduction on the period in question and the rest of the chapter is made up of photographs. Many of them excellent, many rare, only a handful had I seen before. I think the best part of the book is that you do get a real feel for what the Special Forces did during the Vietnam War, not just in South Vietnam, but also in Laos and Thailand. The maps at the back showing the location of the Special Forces camps and the ethnic minorities within South Vietnam and Laos are excellent. Well worth having a look at.… (plus d'informations)

Peerless reference resource, although the way the errata has been included is a bit inconvienient.
