Description

Legends of Warfare Units: US Marine Corps in Vietnam by David Doyle. This volume documents the deployment of the U.S. Marine Corps to Vietnam from 1965 to 1975. The March 1965 landing of the U.S. Marine Corps at Da Nang, South Vietnam, marked the first large-scale deployment of U.S. forces to the region. From then on, the Marine Corps fought continuously until May 1975, when two Marines became the last U.S. servicemen killed in that war during the Mayaguez battle. The book features over 200 archival photos, many never before published, and documents the weapons, vehicles, and equipment of the Marines. Small arms, mortars and artillery, tanks, amphibious, armored and soft-skinned vehicles, helicopters, uniforms, and personal and specialist equipment are featured. Superb-quality photos and detailed captions include photos from such legendary Marine Corps battles as Hue and Khe Sanh. Written by prolific military author David Doyle, this comprehensive volume is part of the popular Legends of Warfare series.
