THE
BRIDGE AT DONG HA
John Grider Miller
Naval Institute Press, Annapolis,
Maryland, 1989. NEW. Hardcover in dust jacket. First Printing. 186
pp. "The story of 'Ripley at the bridge' has become legend within the U.S.
Marine Corps, a daring act of heroism that stands out as one of the most
dramatic episodes of the Vietnam War. But few outside the Corps have ever
heard of John Ripley and that day in April 1972 when he braved intense
enemy fire to destroy a strategic bridge and stall a major North Vietnamese
invasion of the south. Now, at last, his story unfolds as it actually happened,
recorded by a fellow Marine who lays bare Ripley's innermost thoughts."
