Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition / 1st Printing - VERY GOOD minus in a very good dust jacket. Has some marginalia (mostly checkmarks). xvi, 315 pages, 17 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 22 cm. . . . . . . . Coleman's book, first published by St. Martin's Press i…n 1988, is a critical examination of the ?airmobile revolution,? arguing that while helicopters helped free infantry from the constraints of terrain, they also imposed heavy logistical and maintenance burdens and could not by themselves resolve the fundamental problems of fighting an unconventional war. He suggests that the Army, eager to secure resources and institutional change, oversold the helicopter as a solution, sometimes neglecting the continuing need for protected ground mobility and underestimating how an enemy fighting at close quarters could negate American technological advantages. As a result, the book serves both as a detailed campaign history and as a reflective study of how new technology reshapes doctrine, offering an important companion perspective to later works on the Ia Drang battles and early U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
