“I’m honored that Bruce Clarke has portrayed the bravery of not only the Americans but all of us who fought and won the largest ground battle of the siege of Khe Sanh. We believed in our cause and dedicated our lives to it and this book clearly illustrates what many efforts about the Vietnam War do not–the bravery and efforts of the warriors who fought beside the Americans in the Vietnam War. The spirits of the ARVN soldiers who lost their lives at Khe Sanh would smile and say ” Cam õn Ðaị Ta” Clarke (Thank you COL Clarke) because their sacrifice has not been totally forgotten.”
“Presented here in graphic detail is an autographical account of the preliminary battle of Khe Sanh, the opener for the Tet Offensive of 1968, by the genuine American hero who commanded the American and South Vietnamese side. This under reported and close fought preliminary battle was engaged well outside of the famous Khe Sanh siege perimeter. As such, the work is both a primary historical source and interesting reading material for its own sake.”
