Bloody Jungle : The War in Vietnam Paperback / softback
by Chris Evans
Part of the Stackpole Military Photo Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This collection of photographs offers a glimpse into what it was like for a soldier to fight and live in the jungles of Vietnam.
All aspects are covered here: weapons, from M-16 machine guns to grenades; uniforms, including boots, headgear, and wet-weather gear; equipment, such as rucksacks and binoculars; rations; ground vehicles like jeeps, armoured personnel carriers, and tanks; aerial vehicles like helicopters and troop transports; terrain and jungle conditions; conditions in camp; the effects of combat; leisure time activities like drinking and smoking; USO performances; and Vietnamese civilians.
Most of the photos are colour, and most of them come from private collections and have never been published before. Complementing the photos, in addition to captions, are anecdotes from the men who served in Vietnam, who knew the "bloody jungle" firsthand.
This is a unique look at a war that looms large in recent history.
