Description
Swift Boats at War in Vietnam The Vietnam War was a complex and challenging conflict, with the Swift Boats playing a crucial role in the US military's efforts. These versatile craft were designed to navigate coastal waters and the Mekong Delta's labyrinthine rivers and canals, but their limitations made their mission even more difficult. The stories in this book cover the Swift Boats' early years, including search-and-inspect operations, and their later years, when they focused on disrupting enemy supply lines and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines. The book is an intimate and exciting oral history of the Swift Boats at war in Vietnam, drawing on the experiences of the men who fought on these craft. It provides a unique insight into the challenges and dangers faced by the Swift Boat crews, and the ways in which they adapted to their environment. With 344 pages of detailed and engaging accounts, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Vietnam War and the role of the Swift Boats in it.
