| Publisher Description: A vivid account of the 1970 springtime campaigns of the U.S. Army in South Vietnam along the Cambodia border, told from the soldier's perspective with detailed battlefield tales "Most of us remember the 1970 Cambodian campaign] for the killings of four young people at Kent State. Keith] Nolan wants us to remember that it killed a lot of young Americans in Cambodia as well."--The Capital Times "This is combat narrative at its best. Nolan has mastered the soldier's slang and weaves it expertly into the account. . . . A compelling read, and a valuable addition to the growing body of Vietnam literature."--Military Review "Lives up to the high standards of his previous books. Nolan dives deeply into his subjects by getting his hands on first-person testimony primarily through interviews with those who took part in the fighting."--The Veteran |
