Washington, DC: Combat Forces Press, 1954. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xi, [1], 260 pages. Maps. Notes. Legend to Symbols on Maps. Index. Foreword by Major General Orlando Ward. Name in ink inside front cover. DJ worn, soiled, torn and chipped. Published in 1954, the year following the close of the Korean War, this book describes combat actions of small Army units, squads and platoons, companies and batteries. This book is a collection of accounts describing the combat action of small Army units-squads and platoons, companies and batteries. These are the units that engage in combat, suffer the casualties, and make up the fighting strength of the battalions, regiments, divisions, corps, and finally, of the field army. Combat is a very personal business to members of such a small unit. Concerned with the fearful and consuming tasks of fighting and living, these men cannot think of war in terms of the Big Picture as it is represented on the situation maps at corps or army headquarters. Squad or platoon members know only what they can see and hear. More

David Haskell Hackworth (November 11, 1930 – May 4, 2005) also known as Hack, was a prominent military journalist and a former United States Army colonel who was decorated in both the Korean War and Vietnam War. Hackworth is known for his role in the creation and command of Tiger Force, a military unit which was formed in South Vietnam to apply guerrilla warfare tactics against Viet Cong guerrilla fighters. Hackworth is also known for his accusation in 1996 that Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Boorda was wearing two unauthorized service ribbon devices on two of his uniform's awards denoting valor in combat. Although Admiral Boorda had served off the coast of Vietnam in the 1960s and believed he was authorized to wear the two wartime decorations for meritorious service, he did not meet the Navy's requirements.

Donal Hamilton Haines was an Associate Professor of Journalism at the University of Michigan and was an alumnus of this University of the Class of 1909 who, during a period of thirty years, had given service of high value and importance to his alma mater. Himself a skilled journalist and an experienced writer of fiction, he was unusually well fitted to counsel and instruct those who aspired to enter the journalistic profession or to engage in creative writing. His vigorous and positive personality, flavored by his keen love of the out-doors and his genial interest in the individual, made him an inspiring teacher and a cherished colleague, whose friendship was prized and whose memory will live long after him. His long series of novels carried the high art of influencing readers to the appreciation of high standards in personal conduct, of constructive social attitudes, and of cultural tastes while they were being engaged in entertainment and adventure. Many of his thousands of readers were thus influenced by the dramatization of cosmopolitan and socially aware points of view. It is significant that his non-fiction book, Luck in All Weathers, published by Farrar and Rinehart in 1941, was selected by the Council on Books in Wartime for exclusive distribution to the armed forces overseas, and more than one hundred thousand of these books were printed and distributed.

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
