Media reviews

"...[looks] at the war from both perspectives - the US and the Viet Cong.  As a result, it is possible to compare the differing tactics adopted by each side. This is an ideal book for anyone who wants to understand what happened on the ground during the Vietnam War. Well researched, and well written, it will be of interest no matter how little or how much knowledge you have of this war."
- Angela Youngman, www.monstersandcritics.com

"Vietnam Infantry Tactics comes from an infantry veteran of Vietnam and provides a fine survey of small-unit tactics of the conflict."
- The Midwest Book Review (September 2011)

"This is an extremely interesting work for anyone wishing to understand the part that boots on the ground tactics played during the still controversial Vietnam War."
- Blaine Taylor, The Military Advisor (Summer 2012)
