The Marines in Vietnam 1954-1973: An Anthology and Annotated Bibliography

Abstract

The 13 articles composing this anthology provide a general overview of Marine involvement in the Vietnam War. The first six give a relatively chronological development of this participation from one lone Marine advisor in 1954 through the buildup of III Marine Amphibious Force which reached its peak in 1968 to the final withdrawal of most Marine forces in 1971 and the subsequent Easter offensive and counter-offensive of 1972. The second group of articles is arranged topically and concerns aviation, logistics, civil affairs, fire base support, and other subjects of significance to the Marine effort. Also included is an annotated bibliography prepared by the Vietnam writers in the Histories Section covering other vietnam articles that appeared in these publications from 1954 to mid-1973.
