Beschreibung des Verlags
Winner of the United States Marine Corps Gazette 2005 Francis Fox Parry Combat Initiative Award, Highpocket's War Stories is an eloquent account of combat leadership in Korea and Vietnam. Colonel Peter L. Hilgartner is widely recognized in the Marine Corps as a successful combat leader-first as a junior officer in Korea and later commanding the First Battalion, Fifth Marines fighting the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army. Hilgartner tells of leading troops in counter-guerilla action and major battles with North Vietnamese troops-Union I, Union II, and Swift-to control the strategic Que Son Valley. His story gives vivid, never-before-told descriptions of Marines in hand-to-hand combat with North Vietnamese troops from the perspective of Marines who were there. Every grunt will appreciate this gripping account.
