Reviews

  • Throughout the book are an excellent selection of photographs and various organizational charts. A very well done book that provides a lot of insight into the hows and whys of seven years of war in Indochina. One of much interest and one that I can recommend to you without reservation.

    Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (May 2008)
