War on the Rivers: A Swift Boat Sailor's Chronicle of the Battle for the Mekong Delta

War on the Rivers: A Swift Boat Sailor's Chronicle of the Battle for the Mekong Delta by Weymouth D. Symmes. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781575101095.

Fought on the canals and rivers of the Mekong Delta, this was a private, dirty little war waged beyond the view of the cameras of the news services and often beyond the view of senior military command. It was a furious, savage war, where firefights often occurred twice a day, rarely less than once, and hand-to-hand combat was not unheard of. Hundreds of men were killed on both sides, and the survivors were scarred for life.
