Product Description

Review

"A gripping narrative...Reads like a fiction thriller."--Bob Poos, former AP reporter at Pleiku
"Splendid...A meticulous re-creation."--Joseph Galloway, "U.S. News & World Report", former UPI reporter at Pleiku
"A vivid account...gripping."--"Kirkus Reviews"

Product Description

In the fall of 1965 the NVA changes its strategy, and sends its best troops on an assault that will rip Vietnam in half. Halfway around the world, a new American air-mobile force feverishly assembles and trains. And in a place called Pleiku, the two sides come together in a horrific bloody crash.

For one long furious month the newly formed Air Cavalry and the NVA went toe to toe, as the Air Cav unleashed human waves after American-held targets. In this classic book, journalist and military hero J.D. Coleman reconstructs the battles, the men who waged them, the forces that shaped them, and the extraordinary acts of military courage that made Pleiku a resounding U.S. victory -- and the birthplace of air-mobile chopper war.

This book is great if you want to know how the airmobile division got started and was used, but it doesn't tell much about what it was like to be in the helicopters.

This book was just what i was expecting.J.D. & E.C. did an exceptional job of telling what it was like to be in Choppers in Nam. Many of our young men owe their lives to these brave men.
