Dak to: The 173d Airborne Brigade in South Vietnam's Central Highlands, June-November 1967

Rating:
Summary: Battles of Dak To -- 173rd Airborne Brigade in Action
Review: Very well written account of the major battles of the 173rd Airborne Brigade in the Dak To area near the Cambodian-Laotian-Vietnamese borders. Murphy interviewed a number of survivors of those battles and used after-action reports. His research and writing bring those battles to life. That's the "good news" and the "bad news". The battle scenes are quite graphically portrayed. The book is very reminiscent of WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE, AND YOUNG, except it covers several significant battles between June and December of 1967. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
