American military advisors in South Vietnam came to know their
allies personally - as few American soldiers could. In addition to
fighting the Viet Cong, advisors engaged in community building
projects and local government initiatives. They dealt firsthand
with corrupt American and South Vietnamese bureaucracies and not
many would have been surprised to learn that 105mm artillery shells
were being sold on the black market to the Viet Cong. Not many were
surprised by the Communist victory in 1975. This memoir of a U.S.
Army intelligence officer focuses on the province advisors who
worked with local militias that were often disparaged by American
units. The author describes his year (1969-1970) as a U.S. advisor
to the South Vietnamese Regional and Popular Forces in the Mekong
Delta.
