For anyone who served on the ground in the Viet Nam War, this book is a must. Although somewhat over technical with the endless unit designations and command structures, it does prpvide a vivid account of the 'Search and Destroy' tactics employed for the rest of the conflict. The ulitmate futility of a war of atrition, where ground is taken then abandonded plagued the American effort right to the end.
