Philip Katcher provides an overview to the conflict that engulfed
Vietnam following the division of the
country into two along the 17th Parallel in 1954. The uniforms and insignia of
the US forces, including the army, Special Forces, air force, navy and marine
corps, are dealt with in detail, together with those of the ARVN, the Allied
Forces (such as the Royal Thai Army and Korean troops), and also the Communist
NLF (Viet Cong) and NVA forces. Mike Chappell's colourful artwork provides
plenty of detail to accompany this authoritative text.
