"The very early days of our involvement in Vietnam have received little treatment over the years. This book is one of the few dealing with those early "advisory" days, and it is a good account written by a veteran war correspondent, focussing on Army and Marine Corps advisors and helicopter crews working with South Vietnamese troops. It was a time of making do with outdated aircraft and too few personnel. Tregaskis does a good job of conveying the puzzling "getting to know you" time between Vietnamese and Americans. Unlike so many later journalists, Tregaskis treats his soldiers and marines with a genuine sense of comraderie, showing respect for their efforts and those of their ARVN counterparts. I recommend it as a study in fairness, compassion and objectivity."
