This review is from: The Blue Spaders at the Battle of Ap Gu, 31 March-1 April 1967 (Paperback)
The Battle of Ap Gu took place on 31 March through 1 April 1967. It was the largest, most decisive battle fought by the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry (Blue Spaders) of the 1st Infantry Division (Big Red One) during their five-year tour of duty in Vietnam.While outnumbered almost ten-to-one by the NVA and local VC near their safe haven of Cambodia, the Blue Spaders left the battle field strewn with over 600 enemy bodies when the fighting stopped. This account traces the action on a daily basis using comments by soldiers who were there, including the Battalion Commander, LTC Alexander Haig (later, General and Secretary of State) and other Blue Spaders. For their actions, the Blue Spaders were awarded the Valorous Unit Award by the Secretary of the Army.

Blue Spaders at Ap Gu,
This review is from: The Blue Spaders at the Battle of Ap Gu, 31 March-1 April 1967 (Paperback)
Puckett's book is an accurate and engrossing story of soldierly professionalism and uncommon bravery. I will pass the word around about this treasure.
How do I know? I was at Ap Gu as a point man with Lima Platoon, A Company, 1/26th Infantry, 1st Infantry division. Joe Dirvin Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia |
