Convoy Ambush Case Studies Volume 1- Korea and Vietnam - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is the first book dedicated to the study of convoy ambushes. It chronicles the lessons of both wars and describes incredible feats of heroism of truck drivers defending truck drivers. The Vietnam War was the golden age of gun trucks with art work and names to reflect the elan of the crews. Knowing that every engagement would always start on the enemy's terms and at his chosen sites, the crews of the gun trucks were the Army's version of gunslingers; reacting, recovering, and fighting while never faltering. Young men made life and death decisions to save the lives of other truck drivers. Three such men received Medals of Honor for their ultimate sacrifices. The summation of these case studies will provide the reader an understanding of this aspect of two wars and lessons of convoy security.
