More about the book

Focusing on the experiences of a young infantry captain during the Vietnam War's Tet offensive, the narrative highlights the crucial role of armored vehicles as mobile gun platforms for mechanized infantry. It vividly describes combat actions alongside the daily life of soldiers in fortified positions, detailing the defense of the Lai Khe base, a severe outbreak of falciparum malaria, and the dangers posed by explosive ordnance. The book provides a comprehensive look at both the harrowing and mundane aspects of military life during a pivotal time in history.
