US Air Cavalry vs Vietnamese Soldier

This book focuses on three contentious years of the Vietnam war’s history with helicopters against a ground force, in harsh terrain and extreme conditions, neither of which the young American soldiers were prepared for. The Vietcong faced hardships, but they were fighting on home ground. Packed into this concise work are all the elements from firefights, hardware, logistics and tactics. Heavily illustrated and underlined with firsthand accounts and opinions of the time, lead this work to an assessment of each side in an interesting analytical conclusion, with the numbers speaking for themselves. Very well worth reading as a look into how America engaged in a war that some knew could never be won despite its best efforts.
