By Daniel Ford

The Only War We've Got: Early Days in South Vietnam

"In the spring of 1964, Dan Ford took the publisher's advance for his first novel and used it to buy a ticket to Saigon. He rode through a mangrove swamp with the South Vietnamese armored cavalry, walked to the Gulf of Siam with the Rangers, flew with American heliocopter and flare-ship crews, and above all went on a search-and-destroy mission with U.S. Army Special Forces and a montagnard Strike Force." (... from the book's web site.)
