Little is written about 1970 - 1972 Vietnam. The country lost interest, and apathy replaced anti-war sentiment now that the U.S. was rapidly withdrawing troops. First Lieutenant Darryl Wagner's war is a surreal and harrowing experience, analogous to 1700s French trappers living with Native Americans, with comparable outcomes. Two centuries changed weaponry, but life was not so different in an assignment unimaginable upon induction into the military. Officer Candidate School trained him to lead a platoon of American Infantrymen. Instead he was sent to train, live with, and fight alongside local militia---Regional Force and Popular Force troops. They lived, ate, and operated in filth and disease...with three other team members in some of the most remote villages, mountains and jungles in Vietnam. They were tossed into positions as expendable pawns, vulnerable and alone, as were the Montagnard soldiers and civilians they lived and fought beside.Wagner was torn between duty and morals. His obligation to follow orders clashed with a guilt for helping government officials steal Montagnard tribesmen's land. It wasn't what he signed on for, and it was wrong; but at the same time confusing and complicated. But could he make a difference?The enemy was supposed to be the North Vietnamese Army....but not always.

A Pulitzer Prize winner’s in-depth look at four media-business giants: CBS-TV, Time magazine, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times. In this fascinating New York Times bestseller, the author of The Best and the Brightest, The Fifties, and other acclaimed histories turns his investigative eye to the rise of the American media in the twentieth century. Focusing on the successes and failures of CBS Television, Time magazine, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, David Halberstam paints a portrait of the era when large, powerful mainstream media sources emerged as a force, showing how they shifted from simply reporting the news to becoming a part of it. By examining landmark events such as Franklin D. Roosevelt’s masterful use of the radio and the unprecedented coverage of the Watergate break-in, Halberstam demonstrates how print and broadcast media as a whole became a player in society and helped shape public policy. Drawn from hundreds of exhaustive interviews with insiders at each company, and hailed by the Seattle Times as “a monumental X-ray study of power,” The Powers That Be reveals the tugs-of-war between political ambition and the quest for truth in a page-turning read. This ebook features an extended biography of David Halberstam.

Dr. Donald J. Mrozeks research sheds considerable light on how the use of air power evolved in the Vietnam War. Much more than simply retelling events, Mrozek analyzes how history, politics, technology, and the complexity of the war drove the application of air power in a long and divisive struggle. Mrozek delves into a wealth of original documentation, and his scholarship is impeccable. His analysis is thorough and balanced. His conclusions are well reasoned but will trouble those who have never seriously considered how the application of air power is influenced by factors far beyond the battlefield. Wether or not the reader agrees with Mrozek, the quality of his research and analysis makes his conclusions impossible to ignore. John C.
