The Most Read Book on the Vietnam War

[otis-willie]

Abraham Lincoln made famous these words:

"The victor writes the history of the war."

An unknown war veteran made truthful these words:

"The first rule of war has always been that war cannot be declared won until the invading foot soldier subdues his enemy and verifies all resistance has been completely eliminated."

Phill Coleman, Vietnam veteran, added these words:

"If the above time and experience proven rule is still
considered valid, then America, indisputably, lost the
war in Vietnam. "
-- Phill Coleman, Author

The author takes you through pre-Vietnam training, war preparation, and a full tour of duty in Vietnam. Photos. A must read!

What about Hal Moore's "We were soldiers once... and young?"

The book details the Ia Drang battle in far greater details than the movie...
One can almost feel he's right there if he thinks just right.
