Some of the Best: A Tribute to Soldiers, Heros and Friends

By William Robertson and William Robertson

Book Overview

A personal diary and history from the parade fields of West Point to the 101st Airborne Division and the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam. This book is not only a very personal story it is also a unit history and a selective history of the Vietnam war from the first deployment of U.S. troops to the end. The authors own experiences are presented in context with other historical battles and events that shaped the war, with most of those battles and events involving West Point classmates and friends. Its all here: a time-capsule history, the battles, the tactics, the emotions, the pride, the pain, the comradeship, the songs, the letters, the girl back home. Ive been told, one of the things every man should do in life is write a book. This book is dedicated to those who didnt survive to write their own.
