This book is an excellent resource to bot...h academics like myself and war historians alike, the pictures are breathtaking and I was surprised to see that the viewpoint of the vietcong was covered as well, there was also detailed sections on the equipment used by both sides and bold text print which makes reading easier compared to a compact broad history book, I have to say this book is a must for anyone who wants to study the war in context and I highly recommend it as a gift.

I was in Saigon 1970 with RAF Seletar (Singapore) pipeband ...playing in the British Embassy for the US forces and General Westmoreland and as an ex Aden Veteran I found it a hairy experience. The book is full of info about the `Nam and like Aden it was a waste of good men in a forlorn war.
