Product reviewsWe Were Soldiers Once...And Young by Harold G Moore, Joseph L. Galloway (Paperback, 2002)

An interesting read.

An interesting read as to the strategies employed by the Air Cavalry and the response by North Vietnamese Regulars in the Vietnam War. The harsh brutality of war is much to the fore as one can expect but full kudos to the American Commander who took the time in researching this book. His compassion and consideration for his men and their families is to be commended.Read full review...

Super read. We were soldiers...

Excellent book. I have rewad it twice now. My original copy was lost in a fire. It fits well into my library. One of the most compelling books of Vietnam and its conflict. Film was good, but the books fills in the gaps. Being a cornish man it also tells the story of the only cornish man to be a la Drang, Rick Rescorla, who survived all this only to die saving lives at the Twin Towers.
I would recommend this to anyone interested in Vietnam.Read full review...

A picture of a battle from both sides.

Great true story, gripping. You just don't know why the commanders at fault were not court martialed.
