LIMA-6
A Marine Company Commander in Vietnam

VG/NF. (NY: Atheneum, 1989). First Edition. Very slight scuffing to front of jacket. Maps, photographs, bibliography, index, 295 pages.

In this vivid and intensely frank memoir, retired Marine Colonel Dick Camp colorfully recounts the daily command decisions and combat intrinsic to his Vietnam War experience as "Lima-6"--the commander of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 26th Marines--from June 1967 through January 1968. As much as it is about the war, this book is also a candid account of the camaraderie of a Marine infantry company in battle--of men from widely disparate backgrounds thrown together to succeed or fail as a fighting force. It is also the compelling human drama of an infantry company at war as seen through the eyes of a lonely leader upon whom all others depend for guidance, wisdom, and strength.
