About this book
The prologue introduces an account of the battle for Khe Sanh in the Vietnam War. The daily flag-raising ceremony is described as intended solely to show defiance toward the Communists and boost the troops' morale, carrying no particular political overtones.
The account says Captain Salmon relied heavily on the Field Artillery Digital Automatic Computer to speed up the process. The air-support account describes liaison teams calling on other services for assistance whenever the wing could not completely fill a quota. A glossary describes the UH-34D Sea Horse as a single-engine Marine transport helicopter with a crew of three and capacity for combat troops or litters.
