This book is the first to provide a detailed study of the US Army's Special Forces camps in Vietnam. Located deep in hostile territory, their defenses included mortar and artillery positions, recoilless rifle positions, machine-gun bunkers and towers, dense and elaborate barbed-wire barriers, Claymore mines, trip flares, punji stakes and, in some cases, moats. This study reveals the extent to which each camp was self-contained, housing the strike force as well as their families, equipped with power generators, water wells and reserve rations sufficient for a 30-day siege. Written by a former serving Special Forces soldier, this book brings these now-vanished sites back to life and explores their construction, design and defensive principles.
