Coast Guard Action in Vietnam: Stories of Those Who Served

Rating:
Summary: Required reading for students of military actions.
Review: This book will interest all students of American military activity in Vietnam. US Coast Guard wartime accomplishments often get lost as reporters lump all seaborne operations as "Navy". Anyone interested in life at sea, in any setting, will love this book.

Summary: The U.S. Coast Guard in Vietnam, 1965-1975
Review: Yes, the Coast Guard was an active participant in the Vietnam War. Many of the routine Coast Guard duties are unique to this smallest of the five Armed Forces. It wasn't long before the Department of Defense was requesting Coast Guard assistance. The Coast Guard was involved on land, sea, and air with the DOD forces present. This is an exciting book with many stories of Coast Guardsmen in action. The humanitarian side of the CG in Vietnam is not neglected either. Scotti knows what he is writing about. He was there.
