Absolutely....excellent books.

Some others I would add to my list....

"Steel My Soldiers Heart" by David Hackworth

"Low Level Hell" by Hugh Mills

"Five Years to Freedom" by Nick Rowe

"A Rumour of War" by Phillip Caputo

"The Killing Zone" by Frederick Downs

"Platoon Leader" by James McDonald

"Firebase Illingsworth" by Phillip Keith

"Hell In A Very Small Place" by Bernard Fall

"Street Without Joy" by Bernard Fall

"When Hell Was In Session" by Jeremiah Denton






Firebase Illingsworth was partially over run by 400 NVA Soldiers while being defended by 220 American's....who incurred 24 KIA, 54 WIA, with one Medal of Honor being given to a Soldier for his actions that night. The fight devolved to Hand to Hand combat during part of the attack.
