Surviving Bien Hoa by Steve Crews
His descriptive narratives include Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps units at Bien Hoa, Long Binh and Tan Son Nhut. He takes you on an exciting tour of Saigon, the Cambodian/Special Forces compound at Bien Hoa and the sprawling expanse of Long Binh Army Base where he attended the last Bob Hope USO show at the outdoor ampitheater in December 1971. His perspective on the sights, smells and sounds of Vietnam will have you feeling that you were there too from October 1971 to October 1972. The mortar and rocket attacks, especially the big one on the morning of August 1, 1972 at Bien Hoa are described in great detail. The photos of damaged buildings and aircraft help explain why surviving a tour of duty at Bien Hoa was a real goal. From arriving and departing Freedom Birds during peaceful interludes to the sheer terror and tragic moments of mortar and rocket attacks that changed lives forever, this book is a record of those experiences.| SKU | Unavailable |
