Shau Valley, but hehas detailed knowledge of what took place on the
ground. He insightfully covers theinfantryman's hardships,
difficulties, and physical price paid. Thanks to his
extensiveresearch, study, and personal knowledge, Tom describes the
nine-year war in the AShau in riveting detail. This book is a 'must
read' for all interested in why we did notclose and win that war."

America'sfinest warriors who fought in and above the most
strategically important terrain inVietnam. A masterful blend of
history, national strategy, and warrior ethos whichsimultaneously
highlights leadership attributes at every level. A must read for
allwarriors, scholars, and students of leadership. Additionally, it
is a great tribute to thewarriors who fought, and those who died,
in the A Shau Valley." - General H. HughShelton, U.S. Army (Ret), A
Shau veteran, 14th Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, andauthor of
Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior "... this is
the first volume that looks solely at fighting in the A Shau during
virtually theentire Vietnam War. It is a worthy endeavor." - The
VVA Veteran "... arguably the first full length account of American
combat in the valley, stands as asterling testament to the
extraordinary courage- no less than 15 Medals of Honorwere awarded
for actions in and around the valley- displayed by the men who
foughtand died there." - Vietnam Magazine "The North Vietnamese

awide audience interested in gaining a better understanding of the

in Vietnam." - Military Writer's Society of America "A must-read

theU.S. military on the battlefields in Vietnam." - The Journal of

persisted where the trainedprofessionals of the North Vietnamese
and U.S. armies repeatedly fought head-to-head. A Shau Valor is a
thoroughly documented study of nine years of American combat
operations encompassing the crucial frontier valley and a 15-mile
radiusaround it - the most deadly killing ground of the entire
Vietnam War.
