Impact Zone
"Impact Zone is a distinctive book on the Vietnam War because it is told from the perspective of an artilleryman. The increasingly dangerous events Brown describes gain momentum as he progresses from one adventure to the next.

The Vietnam War from the Other Side
Existing studies of the Vietnam War have been written mostly from an American perspective, using western sources, and viewing the conflict through western eyes.

General William C. Westmoreland, the commander of the joint U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam (COMU...

Recounting his assignment to a provincial advisory team of military and civilian personnel, this memoir depicts the ordinary and the extraordinary of life both inside and outside the wire--mortar attacks, firefights and snipers, hot showers, good meals and comradery, the life and death struggles of the Vietnamese people and the bonds he formed with them.
