Book Uniforms & Equipment of U.S. Military Advisors in Vietnam: 1957-1972 (Schiffer Military History). This new, extensively produced volume (the second volume in the series) is a comprehensive guide to the history, development, and use of uniforms and equipment during the participation of U.S. military advisors in the Vietnam War. Included are insignia, headgear, camouflage uniforms, modified items, body armor, boots, clothing accessories, documentary items, and personal effects from 1957-1972, which are examined in great detail. Using reconstructions and period photographs, the author presents the look and feel of U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps advisors in Vietnam. There is a separate chapter on ARVN Ranger, Airborne, and ARVN Infantry advisors, as well as Junk Force, RAG Force, and South Vietnamese Navy and Marine Corps advisors.
The Associated Press made an unprecedented commitment to reporting the conflict: It gathered an extraordinary group of superb photojournalists in its Saigon bureau and these men created one of the great photographic legacies of the twentieth century. Collected here are images that tell the human story of the Vietnam War, as we watch the American presence in the war swell from a trickle of military advisers in the late 1950s, through dramatic operations involving thousands of soldiers in the 1960s, to the fall of Saigon in 1975. These are pictures that both recorded and made history, taken by unbelievably courageous photojournalists. In a moving essay, writer Pete Hamill, who reported from Vietnam in 1965, celebrates their achievement, focusing on five masters who took many of the photographs in the book: Horst Faas, Henri Huet, Eddie Adams, Nick Ut, and Phuoc Van Dang.
