About this book

New addition to the "Commandant of the Marine Reading List 2011" Major General James E. Livingston received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role as an infantry company commander at Dai Do Vietnam during a three-day grinding battle of attrition in which the 2nd Battalion 4th Marine Regiment numbering only 800 men victoriously battled 10 000 or more NVA. His remarkable life and career is recounted in a book that has it all: exciting first-person eyewitness account of historic battle; the history of the development of tactics and strategies used in todays war on terror; and a compelling story of leadership in action and individual courage in combat.
