Student of Military History

As a student at Texas A & M University taking a course in American Military History I cannot recommend any other book higher in the subject of the Air Force's role in Vietnam. From begining to end this book details policies, aircraft, and general deployments of bases in and around Vietnam. Additionally, this book is written on a higher educational level which allows for a more concise and accurate description of what the author is trying to convey. As a general history book I recommend Big Story by Peter Braestrup. However, if you wish to learn more about the Air Force specifically this book goes into greater detail throughout the entire war.
