About this title

Review:

More praise for "The Rise and Fall of an American Army" "Stanton captures vividly . . . the ferocity of the fighting. At times, his descriptions make you think he's writing about the bloody front in World War I . . . . [This book] provides fresh confirmation that . . . in battle after battle, American troops fought with incredible courage."-"The American Spectator" "Stanton has written by far the best book yet published about U.S. soldiers and marines in combat in Vietnam. . . . His word pictures of the violent encounters of that war are clear, evocative and authentic."-GEN. WILLIAM E. DEPUY "ARMY" magazine "A lasting tribute to the men who fought and died in Vietnam. Those who served there-and those who would understand those who served there-owe [Stanton] an enormous debut of gratitude."-COL. HARRY SUMMER from the foreword "This is one of those books every infantryman should own."-"Infantry" magazine "From the Paperback edition."
