War in I Corps

About this book

"We were fighting the NVA and our own leadership and both seemed equally determined to kill us. . . ." In 1967 one of the hottest areas in Vietnam was the so-called Demilitarized Zone in northern I Corps where the NVA had abundant troops and in many places could call up massive artillery firepower--against Marines in the field or as counterbattery. For thirteen months author Richard Guidry a young black Marine from Texas fought there as an infantryman in Bravo 1/4 in some of the wars worst infantry combat. In riveting relentless bloody detail Guidry captures jungle mountain and grassland battles where death could erupt in a second your best friend could vanish without warning and you could become just another loved ones memory. Such was life along the DMZ.
