Sobre este artículo
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Dell Publishing Co. 1992. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. It began and ended with a trap. The first one nearly led a green Special Forces captain into a slaughter, the last cost the life of a heroic lieutenant. Between the two raged some of the fiercest infantry fighting of the Vietnam War. In the battles of Dong Tre, Trung Luon and Hao Hoi, the First Cavalry Division and the 101st Screaming Eagles engaged NVA regulars behind screens of high bamboo, in rice paddies, hamlets, and on bloodied hills - overcoming enemy deceptions that included pre-dug graves for their own dead and underwater caves. In the end, NVA casualties far outweighed Amercian, but the war dragged on. Acclaimed historian S.L.A. Marshall captures the sweaty, blood-soaked action, the individual acts of bravery, the command breakdowns, and the true minute-to-minute horror of close combat in a war that demanded more raw blind courage than any war Americans had ever fought. 242 pages. Some light rubbing on top & bottom of spine and some places on outside edges. Spine is creased..
