5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent one of a kind,
By A Customer
This review is from: Angels In Red Hats: Paratroopers of the Second Indochina War (Hardcover)
The best book available in English on the elite of the Republic of Viet Nam Armed Forces. Though it lacks informatio on the last two years of the war like the hard fought battle of Hill 1062 in the First Corp in 1974. Also lacking was the biography of all Airborne Division battalion commanders. Still it deserve high praise for giving credit long overdue to the heroic ARVN paratroop soldiers. The best fighters in the Viet Nam War.

Excellent reading.,
By Harry & Barbara King (Colorado Springs, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angels In Red Hats: Paratroopers of the Second Indochina War (Hardcover)
I found this book to be a very interesting accounting of the war in Vietnam through the eyes of airborne advisors and Vietnamese airborne soldiers. Having been there as an advisor to an airborne battalion, the recollections of others reminded me of many events that occurred while performing those duties. I thank Mr. Strode for putting together a book that will preserve some of the history of Americans and Vietnamese.
