Book excerpt: When South Vietnam was abandoned by its American allies and consequently defeated by the North Vietnamese in 1975, all its military records were lost to the enemy. This has led to a paucity of factually based analyses of the war by South Vietnamese authors. In a project lasting some ten years, and financed by his own hard-earned resources, Colonel Viet has researched, documented, and analyzed the Vietnam War from the perspective of South Vietnamese armor forces, elements in which he himself played an important role as leader, teacher, and innovator. His travels to interview hundreds of people with first-hand knowledge of these matters took him back and forth across the United States (and to Canada, France and Australia) and enabled him to piece together the story as recalled by virtually every senior South Vietnamese who was involved, along with many of lesser rank but important experience, and many Americans as well. The result is a unique and invaluable work, one recounting from the early days of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam its organization and development, its combat operations, and its interaction with American advisors and then later with deployed American units. Viet tells this story as an historian would, not glossing over the shortcomings and failures of his fellow Vietnamese soldiers (or of the Americans), but also providing definitive accounts of their successes, their innovations, their courage and determination, and the hardships experienced and survived in the course of a long, difficult, and ultimately unsuccessful struggle. In Colonel Viet's words: "In order to give the truth back to history, we did not hide anything, whether it be victory or defeat." Finally, in a very touching portion of the work, Colonel Viet memorializes his fallen comrades of the armored force and commemorates the service of all the American advisors to the armored force he was able to identify.

Book Synopsis Armoured Warfare in the Vietnam War by : Michael Green
Download or read book Armoured Warfare in the Vietnam War written by Michael Green and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pictorial history of the Indochina and Vietnam Wars captures the range of armored warfare used in the region through rare wartime photographs. The two conflicts that engulfed Indochina and Vietnam in the decades after World War II are generally thought of as infantry wars. But in fact, they both involved a significant amount of armored warfare. In this fully illustrated volume, military expert and Vietnam veteran Michael Green describes the many kinds of armored vehicles deployed and their contributions in combat. The ill-fated French Expeditionary Force of the Indochina War was largely equipped with World War II era American tanks—including M3 and M5 Stuart, M4 Sherman and M24 light tanks—as well as armored cars and half-tracks. Most of these eventually went to the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, but were outdated and ineffective due to lack of logistics and training. The US Army and Marine Corps build-up in the 1960s saw vast quantities of M48 Pattons, M113 APCs and many specialist variants and improvised armored vehicles arrive in the theatre. The Australians also brought their British Centurion tanks. But it was the Russians, Chinese and North Vietnamese who won the day and their T-38-85 tanks, ZSU anti-aircraft platforms.

Book Synopsis French Armour in Vietnam 1945–54 by : Simon Dunstan
Download or read book French Armour in Vietnam 1945–54 written by Simon Dunstan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French experience with armour in Indo-China dated back to 1919, when it sent FT-17s to the colony, followed by a variety of armoured cars. After World War II, French troops were equipped with a motley collection of American and cast-off British equipment until the outbreak of war in Korea saw an increase in military aid. This included large numbers of the M24 Chaffee light tank, along with amphibious vehicles such as the M29C Weasel and LVT4 Buffalo, to conduct operations in coastal and inland areas that the Viet Minh had previously thought immune to attack. France's armour was a key part of the battle against the Viet Minh right up until the last stand at Dien Bien Phu.

Book Synopsis Armored Fighting Vehicles in the Vietnam War by : Al Hogue
Download or read book Armored Fighting Vehicles in the Vietnam War written by Al Hogue and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all of the 150 photographs in this 8X10 Vietnam War pictorial book were made from slides. That is why they are so sharp. Most of them look as though they could have been taken yesterday.I arrived in Vietnam in the summer of 1968 with an Agfa 35mm camera that I had purchased while stationed in Germany. The camera only lasted about one week in Vietnam because it was the Monsoon season in the Central Highlands, and rust from the rain and high humidity ruined it. Since the unit I was in never went into the 4th Infantry Division basecamp, Camp Enari, in Pleiku where the PX was, I spent the first half of my Vietnam tour of duty without a camera to document the extraordinary events, places, and people I encountered. Then, early in 1969, I went on R&R, and while in basecamp on my way to Hong Kong, I bought an Olympus 35mm camera at the PX. So, it was only during the last half of my tour, the first half of 1969, that I took all of the photos that I have now.Al Hogue, who was in the same mechanized infantry scout squad that I was in, also took many pictures. Using his Canon Electra 35mm camera, his pictures were all shot during the last half of 1969. The majority of the pictures in this Vietnam pictorial were made by Al. Al has a good eye for photography and a talent for capturing a moment in time and creating pictures that say a lot.Our pictures bring back memories from more than fifty years ago and they mean a lot to us. We like to show them to our friends and family and other Veterans and tell them the stories associated with each one. Since most of the guys who served in Vietnam did not have cameras and therefore have no pictures, we decided to combine our photos to share with them and anyone else that might be interested in that extraordinary period of U.S. military history.
