Bruce B.G. Clarke is a retired Army Colonel with extensive strategic, operational and tactical experience. Clarke fought in the Battle of Khe Sanh and later participated in both the planning for and retaking of the combat base.
Praise for Expendable Warriors has been received by a diverse group of experts including decorated military officers, academic authorities, and participants in the action.
“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.”
“Expendable Warriors reveals a little-known chapter in the story of the siege of Khe Sanh–how the battle really began and who was targeted in the first and biggest North Vietnamese assault in the opening round of an epic clash.”
