Author Description

The Marines in Vietnam, 1954-1973, An Anthology and Annotated Bibliography, based on articlesthat appeared in the U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings, Naval Review, and Marine Corp sGazette, has served well for 14 years as an interim reference on the Vietnam War. It has both complementedand supplemented our official histories on Marine operations in Vietnam. Since it spublication in 1974, however, events in Vietnam and the appearance of additional significant articlesin the three periodicals have made both the anthology and bibliography somewhat dated. Thisexpanded edition extends the coverage of the anthology to 1975 and the entries in the bibliograph yto 1984.
