The vivid, fast-paced account of the siege of Khe Sanh told through the eyes of the men who lived it.

For seventy-seven days in 1968, amid fears that America faced its own disastrous Dien Bien Phu, six thousand US Marines held off thirty thousand North Vietnamese Army regulars at the remote mountain stronghold called Khe Sanh. It was the biggest battle of the Vietnam War, with sharp ground engagements, devastating artillery duels, and massive US air strikes. After several weeks of heroic defense, the besieged Americans struck back in a series of bold assaults, and the North Vietnamese withdrew with heavy losses.

Last Stand at Khe Sanh is the vivid, fast-paced account of the dramatic confrontation as experienced by the men who were there: Marine riflemen and grenadiers, artillery and air observers, platoon leaders and company commanders, Navy corpsmen and helicopter pilots, and a plucky band of US Army Special Forces. Based on extensive archival research and more than one hundred interviews with participants, Last Stand at Khe Sanh captures the courage and camaraderie of the defenders and delivers the fullest account yet of this epic battle.

A book about gut-wrenching and heart breaking loss. I could only listen to small parts at a time. Listen to this book to understand why war is all hell.

Not for the faint of heart.

Great book on the topic of khe Sanh. Extremely graphic accounts from numerous American perspectives of the battle as it raged. Seeing how this book is free with an audible subscription I would say check this one out if you are interested in vietnam.

A glimpse into a insightful story. The political and military aspects are right on with the attitudes pre full U.S. intervention .

Should be listened to by anyone interested in the foundational CIA & pentagon Vietnam history.

Good point of view

The Author of this book did a great job of describing what had happened at Khe Sanh. It brought back bad and good feelings about my own experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq. There is a bond that you and your fellow living and dead Soldier or Marines develop in combat. There are no words that can describe it. It's the closest bond that any human being can experience with another human being. Again this is just an excellent book all around.

This Is An Awesome Book To Read.
