This is a very well laid out book, comprehensive and easy to understand, and for the first time being able to see the full German plan and how the American forces constantly shifted and changed to counter the attacks, and let small teams work together alongside the artillery to defend the town, causing the German army to lose in the region of 400 tanks and 37 thousand troops, killed, frozen or injured is a testament to the pluck and fighting spirit of the American forces.
A fantastic book to read more so if like me you have visited the area over the years.

The book, which tells of an extremely documented war, with numerous iconic photos, does it through mostly unpublished or rare photos, even if for Hue and Khe Sanh this is very difficult. The result is that of telling the war effort of the Marines in a book that will not be missing on the shelves of people interested in this war, unpopular and tragic, which was the Vietnam War.

I've read Tango 1-1 a book about the 9th Infantry Division LRPs in the Vietnam Delta by Jim Thayer. I have to thank Pen & Sword and Netgalley for making it available to me. I find it interesting reading about this conflict for some reason. This is somewhat different from most books about this war and the men who fought it. I recommend it for those interested in military history and the Vietnam war.

This offering from Pen and Sword and authored by Brooke S Blades follows the US military through the Ardennes to the end of the war in Europe and so covers highs and lows of the war as it affected US forces. The text is worth taking the time to read if you want an idea of what was happening and when. The photographs are a mix of ones I have seen on several occasions to some I have never seen before; those showing just how much damage can be done to a Sherman would make you want to be infantry.

He considers the extraordinary difficulties they faced, and analyses how they performed and what they achieved. Were they successful, or were they beaten down by the burden of their roles? His… Read more...
