Description

American military advisors in South Vietnam came to grasp their allies in my opinion–as few American soldiers could. Along with fighting the Viet Cong, advisors engaged in community building projects and local government initiatives. They dealt firsthand with corrupt American and South Vietnamese bureaucracies. Now not many advisors would have been surprised to be told that 105mm artillery shells were being sold at the black market to the Viet Cong. Now not many were surprised by the North Vietnamese victory in 1975.

This memoir of a U.S. Army intelligence officer specializes in the province advisors who worked with local militias that were ceaselessly disparaged by American units. The writer describes his year (1969-1970) as a U.S. advisor to the South Vietnamese Regional and Popular Forces within the Mekong Delta.
