Fighting Viet Cong in the Rung Sat: Memoir of a Combat Advisor in Vietnam, 1968-1969

Bob Worthington

4.9/5 (9905 ratings)

Description:The Vietnam War was not going well in 1968. The January Tet Offensive--a tactical defeat but strategic victory for North Vietnam--showed the U.S. military and the American public that after years of fighting, the enemy remained determined, no nearer defeat. Americans grew war weary and soured on their government's involvement while politicians and top military leaders could not agree on how to win or how to withdraw. Between combat tours, Bob Worthington served as a U.S. Army company commander--a job he came to despise. Experiencing what he perceived as a degradation in the Army's senior command, he resigned his commission. Yet he needed money to complete graduate school and volunteered to return to Vietnam as a combat advisor. Worthington's memoir describes his participation in the fiercest fighting of the war, on the Cambodian border, where he almost died of Hookworm and was shot in a night operation. Assigned to Saigon to recuperate, he was tasked with creating an advisor team to train South Vietnamese commandos to conduct raids in the swamps south of Saigon, the Rung Sat Special Zone. For seven months they were successful, with Worthington receiving four combat awards.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
