The bulk of the historical images in this work are from the files of the United States Marine Corps Historical Center and will be credited ‘USMC’. As with all published works, authors depend on friends for assistance in reviewing their work and their help is greatly appreciated.
Reflecting the Marine Corps’ long-term involvement in the Vietnam War versus the confines of the size and format of the books in this series, this work can only present the most cursory examination of the subject matter. For those looking for more detailed information, the author suggests consulting the Marine Corps ten-part historical series on its participation in the conflict that can be downloaded from the internet in PDF format at no cost.
