Armoured Combat in Vietnam

Armoured Combat in Vietnam

 

Comprehensive, detailed, and very readable, this book is an exciting survey of the history, nature, deployment and effect of armoured units the United States Army utilized during the bitter course of the controversial Vietnamese War. It is based upon official war records of armoured units and personal interviews with the men of those units and was compiled by a team of military experts. This book discusses the military role and effectiveness of tank and mechanized infantry battalions and companies, armoured cavalry squadrons and troops, and air cavalry squadrons and troops - all forces whose primary function was to fight mounted. This book takes the reader from the earliest attempts by U.S. strategists to develop an armoured force for the newly created Army of the Republic of Vietnam through eight years of hard fighting in a region in which tanks were once thought to be incapable of moving. To add to the impact of the text, clear battle plans, exciting photographs, diagrams, maps, chrats and a useful glossary are included. This book is essential reading for all professional military strategists, military buffs and anyone interested in the history of the U.S engagement in Vietnam.
