WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE… AND YOUNG, IA DRANG — THE BATTLE THAT CHANGED THE WAR IN VIETNAM

by Lt. Gen. Harold Moore and Joseph Galloway

Moore and Galloway have written by far and away the best piece of military history on one of the early battles of the Vietnam War. It is a story of effective and ineffective military leadership. It also should put to rest the claims of some commentators who claim that the US military lost none of the battles in the war. LANDING ZONE ALBANY was nothing other than a defeat that came close to being the twentieth century’s Battle of the Little Bighorn. This is a great book.
