The Rise And Fall Of An American Army: US Ground Forces In Vietnam 1965-1973

An important, one-volume history of the war in Vietnam.

This book provides a complete account of American ground combat forces in Vietnam - who they were, how they got to the battlefield, and what they did there. Stanton's book represents the first total battlefield history of ground forces in the Vietnam War, containing material previously inaccessible.

Year by year, and front by front, the narrative follows the war in extraordinary, gripping detail. Over the course of the years 1965 through 1973, the changes in the fighting and in the combat troops themselves are described and documented.
