Product Description
Product Description
For two-thousand years, the Chinese, French, Japanese and Republic of Vietnam forces tried to pacify the Mekong Delta and failed. The United States Ninth Infantry Division, and U.S. Naval Forces of Vietnam, did it in a little over three years, but at a high cost. They fought for freedom, they fought with honor, but in the end they fought for each other.

Excellent and fair view of the War, Jun 18 2008
By Sam Eaton "Linh My" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Duty Honor Sacrifice (Paperback)
In the interest of fairness, both my wife Bac and I are acknowledged in this book. Also as Ralph points out, Bac and I mostly live in Viet Nam these days.Ralph does something that is both interesting and difficult. He gives a very fair and balanced view of the history of Viet Nam and of the American involvement in Viet Nam, while at the same time highlighting the Honor and Sacrifice of American sailors and soldiers who did their duty. My only regret is that Ralph did not footnote the extensive research and source material involved in this book.
Ralph's stories are great. Ralph's summation of the history can only offend the most Liberal Europeans and Americans. It is not in dispute by anyone I know who served in Viet Nam on either side. As Ralph's view of the American involvement in Viet Nam is very positive, as is mine, I would like to include a couple of links to Vo van Kiet, the recently deceased former Prime Minister of Viet Nam. I think that these links show the current (post 1986 Doi Moi) Vietnamese reexamination of the War and of Viet Nam's desire to right many of the wrongs on their side of the war.

Duty Honor Sacrifice, Jan 13 2008
By Ralph H. Bigelow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Duty Honor Sacrifice (Paperback)
A riveting account of the Navy and Army's joint efforts in Vietnam as recalled by those who were there living it. This book is a true tribute to all who served during those trying times. Bravo Zulu to Ralph Chistopher on a job very well done!
