US Marine Rifleman in Vietnam 196573 by Charles D Melson

Written by a veteran of the Vietnam War, this volume provides an in-depth look at the experience of the ordinary US marine 'grunt' in Vietnam. Organisation of the corps, weaponry, equipment, uniforms, training and medical arrangements are all discussed. Featuring a rare level of detail, the book unifies all these differing aspects of marine life under the point of view of a soldier serving in the conflict. Informed by direct personal experience, this is a unique angle on what it was like to be a US Marine rifleman in Vietnam.

From 1986, he was a writer with the Marine Corps Historical Centre and a working member of the Marine Corps Uniform Board.
