About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Warner Books, Incorporated, 1990. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. A very Rare book. Collectible. Wave upon wave of massive attacks had nearly wiped out the 26th Marines' defensive positions at Khe Sanh. Two divisions of crack NVA troops surrounded the hill, and the Marines were being pounded with mortars, rockets, and artillery in one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the war: Khe Sanh. Here are the first-person accounts of the men who fought and survived that terrifying siege, who saw their buddies wasted before their eyes, who made daring helicopter landings amid mortar attacks, who were ambushed on recon patrols - and then risked their lives in courageous efforts to recover the bodies of their fallen comrades. From the scream of an incoming rocket barrage to the heroism of the final break-out, the Marines carried out a flawed military policy - and delivered a crushing defeat to the enemy. 300 pages. Spine is creased. Very slight rubbing on top & bottom of spine and front cover top right corner..
