This review is from: The U.S. Navy in the Vietnam War: An Illustrated History (Paperback)
Edward J. Marolda has managed to fill in many gaps in the literature of the Vietnam War. Much has been published on the guys on the ground and even the Brown Water Sailors but not nearly enough on the Blue Water Navy that sailed the Tonkin Gulf. The U.S. Navy in the Vietnam War: An Illustrated History is an excellent way to cover the entirety of the United States Navy with a thoughtful selection of photographs on every aspect from carrier ops and aviation to amphibious ops to gunline to underway replenishment to the lonely outpost of PIRAZ. There are many, many photos and they depict all facets including the human face of the conflict. Those of us offshore often wondered whether what we did made a difference and from the included recon pictures we get a much better appreciation of the results of aerial bombing and naval gunfire. If you wore navy blue in Vietnam you'll want this book.
