Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Holt, Rinehart and Winston , 1963 Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York. 1963. Hardcover. Stated First Edition. Book is tight, square, and does have considerable pencil underlining by the F/O, who was a Vietnam US Navy veteran who was on duty when this book was written and published. Book Condition: Fair; suntoning to spine; soiling to boards; worn fabric at head, tail, and tips; soiling to textblock edges. No DJ. Green cloth boards and spine with red and black lettering on the spine and front board. Inner hinges are sound and not split. 401 pp 8vo. This book is the first definitive eyewitness account of the combat in Vietnam. This unforgettable, vividly illustrated report records the story of the 14,000 Americans fighting in a new kind of war. Written by one of the most knowledgeable and experienced of Americas war correspondents in 1962-63, the book shows how the US Army developed new techniques for resisting the wily guerrilla forces. Roaming the whole of war-torn Vietnam, Tregaskis takes his readers on the tense U.S. missions-with the Marine helicopters and the Army HU1Bs (Hueys); with the ground pounders on the embattled Delta area, the fiercest battlefield of Vietnam; then to the Special Forces, men chosen for the job of training Montagnard troops to resist Communists in the high jungles. A presentable reading copy.
