The U.S. Marine Corps' Combined Action Program (CAP) in Vietnam was
an enlightened gesture of strategic dissent. Recognizing that
search-and-destroy operations were immoral and self-defeating and
that the best hope for victory was "winning hearts and minds," the
Corps stationed squads of Marines, augmented by Navy corpsmen, in
the countryside to train and patrol alongside village self-defense
units called Popular Forces. Corporal Edward F. Palm became a
combined-action Marine in 1967. His memoir recounts his experiences
fighting with the South Vietnamese, his readjustment to life after
the war, and the circumstances that prompted him to join the Corps
in the first place. A one-time aspiring photojournalist, Palm
includes photographs he took while serving, along with an epilogue
describing what he and his former sergeant found during their 2002
return to Vietnam.
