NO SHINING
ARMOR: THE MARINES AT WAR IN VIETNAM: AN ORAL HISTORY
Otto J. Lehrack
University Press of Kansas,
1992. NEW. Photographs, maps, appendices, glossary, bibliography,
index, 398 pp. "These interviews were clearly conducted with skill &
sensitivity. They represent an impressive cross-section of ranks &
positions... That the Marines, more than any other service, understood
what was happening in Vietnam & struggled against it, gives the story
of Third Battalion, Third Marines, a bitter poignancy." "...told by the
players at the mud level; honest, spontaneous, brutal, poignant. The great
majority of Americans can only imagine--and not very well~ the inhuman,
devastating, brutal conditions of ground combat. These veterans now tell
us in their own words, & it defies the imagination." The Marine
Corps Association is currently offering new copies of this title for $14.95,
$13.45 to members. This strikes me as a paperback price, but they do not
indicate that their copies are paperback, so you might want to check them
out first at 703-40-6161. (In print at $35).
