Combat at Close Quarters - An Illustrated History of the U.S. Navy in the Vietnam War (Hardcover)

Combat at Close Quarters presents the work of five renowned historians who describe and interpret the U.S. Navy's major combat operations in Southeast Asia, including the Rolling Thunder and Linebacker strikes against North Vietnam, the river war in South Vietnam's Mekong Delta, and the intelligence campaign. The concise, eminently readable test is complemented with over 200 images drawn from Navy archives and private collections, detailed maps, and a select list of the most authoritative works on the subject. The chapters describe not only the actions of the warships, aircraft, and river vessels involved in one of America's longest wars but the professional skill,dedication, and courage of the Navy men and women who went in ""harm's way"" in Vietnam.
