Gloria Emerson (May 19, 1929– August 3, 2004) was an author, journalist and war correspondent. She won the 1978 National Book Award in Contemporary Thought for her book about the Vietnam War, Winners and Losers. During her long career, she wrote four books as well as articles for Esquire, Harper's, Vogue, Playboy, Saturday Review and Rolling Stone. In 1970 she convinced the paper to transfer her to Saigon. Among her first reports for The New York Times, Emerson exposed false "body counts" and "unearned commendations" to field-grade officers and the use of hard drugs by American soldiers. She also reported on the suffering of the Vietnamese people. Winners and Losers covers Emerson's time in America and Vietnam before, during, and after the Vietnam War. The book is based on interviews with American and Vietnamese soldiers and civilians. Winners and Losers won the 1978 National Book Award for Contemporary Thought. More

Webb, Jim Wilcox, Walter Klaassen, Jim Wert, Leonard Epp, and Bob Neufeld. Frank H. Epp: (1929-1986) was a churchman, journalist, educator, and author. Educated in theology, mass communication, and history, Epp was professor of history at Conrad Grebel College. He was president of Conrad Grebel College, 1973-1979. Under his leadership, the college expanded to include a new academic building as well as programs in peace and conflict studies. His extensive public writing career began in 1951. As founding editor of The Canadian Mennonite (1953-1967) and Mennonite Reporter (1971-1973), he exercised a broad and sometimes controversial influence among Mennonites in Canada at a time when many of them were in a language transition from German to English. From 1957-1963 he was director and regular speaker for the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba's "Abundant Life" radio program. Epp's research travels, related to peace education and writing projects, included numerous trips to the Middle East (6), Southeast Asia (3), and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (3). Epp's twelve books include three on the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East and three on Mennonites in Canada. These included Mennonites in Canada, volumes I and II; he was working on volume III at the time of his death. His other books deal with educational institutions and with peace and refugee concerns.

New York, N.Y. Ivy Books, 1989. Later Printing. Mass market paperback. xi, [1], 307, [1] pages. Illustrations. Includes Acknowledgments, Prologue, Epilogue, and Appendix. Includes chapters on Military History/Basic Training; Cam Ranh Bay; Bong Son Don Ericson; Phan Thiet Don Ericson; Ranger School/An Khe John L. Rotundo School; Phan Thiet Don Ericson; Pleiku John L. Rotundo; An Ke Don Ericson; Dalat Don Ericson. Don Ericson served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970 with the 173rd Airborne Brigade and C Company, 75th Infantry (Airborne Rangers). John L. Rotundo served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1971 with the 173rd Airborne Brigade and C Company, 75th Infantry (Airborne Rangers). For 18 months, Rotundo and Ericson braved the best of war at its most bloody, growing from boys into men as "Charlie Rangers". A consistent success, this first book-length nonfiction account of operations conducted by a single Ranger company in Vietnam had a significant following. They were the biggest Ranger company in Vietnam, and the best. For eighteen months, John L. Rotundo and Don Ericson braved the test of war at its most bloody and most raw, specializing in ambushing the enemy and fighting jungle guerillas using their own tactics. From the undiluted high of a "contact" with the enemy to the anguished mourning of a fallen comrade, they experienced nearly every emotion known to man--most of all, the power and the pride of being the finest on America's front lines.

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1981. First U.S. Edition [Stated]. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. 128 pages. Illustrations. Technical data. Appendices.

Jeffrey Ethell (1947–1997) was an American aviation author and pilot who wrote extensively on aviation and military matters. He was killed on June 6, 1997, when the restored P-38 Lightning he was flying crashed at Tillamook, Oregon, while preparing for an airshow to honor his father. Starting at a young age, Ethell published technical studies of WWII-era aircraft and eventually authored 60 books and over 1,000 magazine articles covering all aspects of aviation. He soloed at 18 and logged over 4,800 hours in over 210 types of aircraft, including most of the warbirds of the allied and Axis sides from WWII. His works on color photography of the World War II era brought to life an era which too many thought had only been filmed in black and white. While attending college in Tennessee in the 1960s, Ethell received research grants from the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, and went on to guest lecture at colleges and academic institutes. His co-authored study of the first American daylight attack on Berlin has often been compared to the works of Cornelius Ryan and Stephen Ambrose in presenting a balanced account of one of the most pivotal events of WWII, the first daylight deep penetration raid against the capital of Nazi Germany. He appeared as an expert commentator on numerous documentaries. More

Washington DC: Department of the Army, 1974. First Printing [Stated]. Wraps. xiii, [1], 248, [2] pages. Maps. Tables. Illustrations. Includes Foreword, Preface, Introduction, Unit Management and Personnel Actions; Optimizing Army Aviation Assets and Support Facilities; General Background for Battlefield Analysis; The Intelligence Function; Tactical Refinements and Innovations; The Analytical Approach; Pacification; Division Wrap-Up; Corps Level Operations; On Controlling the War; Limitations and Problems in the Use of Analysis. Also contains Overall Conclusions; Appendix: Milestones; and Index. This monograph focuses on the use of analysis in combat operations and concentrates on the utilization of techniques in situations with which the authors were personally familiar. It covers primarily the systematic blending of military judgment, data collection , and simple problem solving techniques as utilized in the 9th Infantry Division and II Field Force, Vietnam in 1968, 1969 and 1970. The approach is rather tentative because it was not possible in many cases to determine exactly what factors made the operations go so well. Rather we have laid out the most important and interesting factors in the hopes that the readers will be stimulated and perhaps decide for themselves what the critical points were. Fortunately, a large amount of basic data was available to support the manuscript. On the other hand. some basic data has been lost. In these cases we drew on memory and tried to double check the accuracy of our recollections. We think any general statements are reasonably accurate. More
