As an amercian trooper with "B"Btry 1/44th "Dusters" on this operation FSB Lao Bao, this is a great book. All the details.. all the units.. I have an interview of myself on CBS news.. and can place the book right to the film. Amazing! This book is Lam Son 719. Great research on the part of the author. If you were there.. this is the book to read. If you were'nt.. this is a great book to get a feel of what being in this part of the country and war was all about.

This is the story of the U.S. Army's final major offensive of the vietnam war. It is also the war's most violent action involving U.S. tanks and aircraft, in which more helicopters were shot down than in any other single battle of the war, and which in some cases pilots were refusing to fly. This book is highly detailed in military jargon, and several military readers have stated to me that this book is geared for the serious student of military science. I have read the book, and I agree with their statements.

The book was well worn but readable. Came within the designated time line and we would order books again.
