description
sents the work of renowned historians and Vietnam War veterans who describe and interpret the U.S. Navy's major combat operations in South Vietnam and on its coast. The scope of the book includes the river war in South Vietnam's Mekong Delta, the coastal patrol, and the intelligence campaign. To complement text, the authors have added images and maps from the U.S. Navy archives, U.S. Naval Institute collection and from private collections. They also provide a s list of the most authoritative works on the subject.

In this retrospective, Cutler and Marolda describe not only the actions of the warships, aircraft, and river vessels involved in one of America's longest wars but also the professional skill, dedication, and courage of the Navy men and women who went in "harm's way" in Vietnam. The authors detail the development and combat experience of the Navy's River Patrol Force and the Army-Navy Mobile Riverine Force as they fought the Viet Cong. They relate in full the heroism of Medal of Honor recipients Boatswain's Mate 1st Class James E. Williams and Lieutenant Thomas G. Kelley, and the leadership of Vice Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt Jr.

Intelligence which, until recently, was classified tells the story of the Navy's intelligence effort in South Vietnam, and describes the operations of SEAL and Naval Intelligence Officers at the tactical level. In short, this book takes an in depth look at the Navy's major and essential role in a conflict that marked a milestone in modern American history.
