Great

I have read this book three times. It should go into every history library there is about the Vietnam War. I am a Special Forces Veteran and knew a couple of the guys mentioned. The book is all facts and no fiction.

Battle for the Central Highlands

A very thoughtful and detailed look at a difficult and historically miligned period. The book doesn't pull any punches and presents an honest and frank view the war. Dooley has a excellent command of the facts and presents a point-of-view that is both compassionate and understanding.

Battle for the Central Highlands

The book is great it makes want to keep on reading. It explians how to join the special forces, what they do and then it gets into what they did in Vietnam. It deals with multiple sieges on different A-camps, and operations around the camps. It talks about sniping, ambushes, and boobey traps.
