Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. VERY GOOD in a very good clear mylar protective jacket. No marks noted. Binding is tight and square. 300 pp ; b&w and color photographs ; 31cm - roster of soldiers who gave their lives. . . . . . . . . An official-style historical account of the U.S.…Army?s First Infantry Division - *Big Red One* - during a crucial mid?war stretch of the Vietnam conflict. Covering 1967 through the end of 1968, it traces the division?s combat operations northwest of Saigon, including actions along Highway 13 toward Cambodia, in the Iron Triangle, and around bases such as Loc Ninh, with attention to search?and?destroy missions, fire support bases, and the evolving use of airmobile and combined?arms tactics. The narrative places particular emphasis on how the division confronted main?force Viet Cong and North Vietnamese units, while also engaging in pacification and civic?action efforts in nearby villages. Within that framework, the book highlights the division?s role in the 1968 Tet Offensive and its aftermath, showing how Big Red One units shifted rapidly between large?scale engagements near Saigon and extended security and pacification operations in III Corps. It also notes command changes and losses at the highest levels - most notably the death of division commander MG Keith L. Ware when his helicopter was shot down near Loc Ninh in September 1968 - using such episodes to illustrate the intensity and cost of the campaign. Overall, Volume II functions as a detailed campaign chronicle and unit history, aimed at documenting how the First Infantry Division adapted to a brutal, shifting war during one of its most demanding periods.
