The Bridge at Dong Ha is the real story of Marine Corps hero, John Walter Ripley, who on Easter Sunday, 1972, almost singlehandedly took on a massive concrete and steel bridge to derail a planned attack at the Cua Viet River - near Dong Ha.

This is a story of courage and conviction. Mr. Ripley's book is a multiple award-winner---and this latest edition includes illustrations derived from on-scene sketches made during the war.
