About this product

Product Information

From their early days in 1965 when the order of the day was to drive the insurgent Viet Cong from the villages around Da Nang to the final, dramatic evacuation of Saigon ten years later, Semper FiVietnam relates the whole gutsy, glorious saga of the Marines in Vietnam in stark, riveting detail. Acclimating to their strange new surroundings occupied the Marines' first few weeks in South Vietnam. . . . Throughout the day, peasants dressed in pajama-like clothing and sporting conical hats worked the paddies behind the heaving water buffalo. . . . If daytime scenes appeared bucolic, the arrival of sunset quickly changed that perception. Gunfire and explosions erupted at dusk. Marines nervously watched bright tracers cut colorful swaths across the night sky. From distant bamboo thickets, mortar shells flew skyward to crash in the paddies. The Marines were learning that the war in South Vietnam was unlike anything for which they'd been trained.

    As an old Marine I find most things about the Corp interesting and worth keeping for my grandchildren-- maybe someday they'll be interested in military history and I'll be able to provide a small amount. When the presedent said to turn out the lights in VietNam because the party was over, it was a Marine that flipped the switch----The Marines are the first in and the last to leave. Per An old Army Warrant Officer I met back in the 80's said he was in the Corp headed to Korea in 1953 when he was diverted to a place no one had heard of called VietNam. He was attached to some british unit as an adviser to the RSVN Army HQ. This book date stamps alot of Marine activity through out the war. I have friends who were in country begining in 1964 and as late as 1973. I would purchase more of Edward ...
