Experienced First Hand At The Height of the Vietnam War (1972 - 1973)
When I started reading this book I started feeling some bad vibes from Vietnam starting to resurface again. Needless to say, I quit reading the book because this book is written at the height of the Vietnam War (1972 – 1973). And, I was there.Otherwise, from the little I read the book seems to be an excellent book for any military personnel who served in Vietnam during those final years. This book is written by a Marine Officer who was a part of ANGLICO*. Therefore, the book is mainly written from his viewpoint. I caution recommending this book to anyone who is or has suffered from PTSD, as I did. I thought after all these years it would not affect me and I would be able to read the book. Wrong!As stated, the book is written by a Marine Officer who was stationed inland calling in NGFS (Naval Gun Fire Support) from the ships stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin and, especially, Yankee Station when needed.Anyway, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading about the Vietnam era, naval personnel stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin who would like to get the a viewpoint from ANGLICO’s view or military history buffs. This would also be a recommended read for a new young recruit who is or thinking about joining the service so they can get a perspective of what is was like in those final years of the Vietnam War. I just hope they will not have to experience first hand another Vietnam, Korea or WW.* Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Companies (ANGLICO): Responsible for calling in Air Strikes for ground (Bat 21) and NGFS stationed at Yankee Station when air strikes aren’t feasible.Vietnam Vet

Intense, fast paced writing. A map would've done wonders. I served three tours as a Navy trained salvage diver. Picked up a lot of chopper pilots out of the drink but no jet jockeys. My point is that I've read many Vietnam related books & consider myself a student of the Vietnam War but doggone it Mr. Stoffey, a map, one little bitty map would've been great for my fading memory. Other than that, one helluva' write-up on the massive NVA invasion during Easter 1972...but wear your seatbelt, it reads fast & furious. BTW Mr. Stoffey, I agree 100% with your views on the war protestors contributing to extending the war & Congress criminally fouling up our late war assistance to South Vietnam especially during the '73 to '75 time period. I think I heard one reviewer complain about your viewpoint on those subjects but he must've not been there. If anybody wants to read my point of view on the hippies "don't trust anyone over 30" B.S. and their war protests (John Kerry et al) read my book: Over & Back by Wild Bill Callahan on Amazon. Some people say: "Thank you for your service." In my opinion, it shouldn't be thanked, it should be expected....OF EVERYONE. Including Bill Clinton. Photo is of my book & me & my old Lt. diver friend from Vietnam. Florida 2015.

Anyway, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading about the Vietnam era, naval personnel stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin who would like to get the a viewpoint from ANGLICO’s view or military history buffs. This would also be a recommended read for a new young recruit who is or thinking about joining the service so they can get a perspective of what is was like in those final years of the Vietnam War.
