Viet Nam Riverine Craft

Review by Richard F. Rzesutek, 2007-10-10

Too general as a member of the 3/47 inf 9th Inf Div, some of the craft descibed were a little vague in the manning of the craft and the physical layouts.

Once again a great job on the book.

Review by Sean K. King, 2007-08-02

This book is great for the person looking for the basic history of these craft and what the troops who used them had to deal with. Covers the strengths and weaknesses of the craft.

Color palates are great as usual!

Recommend for the gamer looking for the basic run down of these great craft and the areas they were used in. (One thrid of Vietnam "is" covered by the river delta. With man made canals criss crossing connecting them.) This type of info. is just great!
