Washington DC: Naval Historical Center, Contemporary History Branch, 1991. Revised Edition. Wraps. [6], 100, [2] pages. Cover has some wear. Corners of several pages bent. This bibliography revises and updates A Select Bibliography of the United States Navy and the Southeast Asian Conflict, 1950-1975, compiled by Edward J. Marolda and G. Wesley Price III and issued in November 1983. The greater number of titles cited in this new edition reflects the outpouring of books and articles on the Vietnam War since 1983. In addition, because of the growing attention to the role of women in war, the current edition of the bibliography presents a new subject category entitled Navy Women. A primary object of this current work is to provide a bibliography that would enable researchers to identify the most comprehensive books and articles on the Navy's overall involvement in the struggle for Southeast Asia (hence the General Works section). Another goal was to present researchers only interested in specific subject areas with the fullest information on the sources treating those individual topics. The books, public documents, and articles cited in the bibliography can be found in the holding of the Navy Department Library. More

Brigadier General Samuel Lyman Atwood Marshall, also known as Slam, (July 18, 1900 – December 17, 1977) was a military journalist and historian. He served with the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, before leaving to work as a journalist, specializing in military affairs. In 1940, he published Blitzkrieg: Armies on Wheels, an analysis of the tactics used by the Wehrmacht, and re-entered the U.S. Army as its chief combat historian during World War II and the Korean War. He officially retired in 1960 but acted as an unofficial advisor during the Vietnam War. Marshall wrote some 30 books about warfare. His most famous work was Men Against Fire: The Problem of Battle Command, which concluded fewer than 25% of men in combat actually fired their weapons at the enemy. His overall conclusion - a significant number do not fire their weapons in combat - has been verified by multiple studies performed by other armies, going back to the 18th century. Why this is so remains contested; Marshall argued that even with their own lives at risk, the resistance of the average individual “...toward killing a fellow man" was such that "he will not...take life if it is possible to turn away from that responsibility and at the vital point, he becomes a conscientious objector" More
