The author, a retired Navy Commander, presents an unique history of the Vietnam War by providing an understanding of the horror, brutality, chaos, and insanity of war. His interviews with 61 members of the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1965 who served during the war in Vietnam include candid, first-hand accounts of American action on the ground, in the air, on the rivers, and offshore. Their stories involve Marines fighting bloody battles for hills soon abandoned after being captured; Naval aviators watching their wingman being shot down on missions targeting meaningless targets while Hanoi remained off-limits; Brown Water Navy sailors conducting ambushes and being ambushed; Swift boats conducting dangerous operations on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta; firefights on gunboats during secret forays into Cambodia; clandestine assassination missions with the CIA; secret night operations into North Vietnam; offshore bombardment where targets may, or may not, be enemy; and many other aspects of this bloody, and preventable, war.
