the 1st Viet Cong Regiment to offer an account of the first major
clash of America's involvement in Vietnam. Code-named Operation Starlite, the August 1965 battle was a resounding success for the Marines and a cause for great optimism about America's future in Vietnam. The author has written a previous book on Vietnam.
