Review Militaria Guide New Book: U.s. Forces In Vietnam 1962-67

[StefanBerlin]

Hello everybody,

i want to share with you my new book arrival and want to give you a little review.
If you are Interested in the Vietnam War and need a very good book as guide for painting and equip your Figures
I can highly recommend this one.
This book is brand new and was printed in September 2012 by Histoire&Collections.
It is the first book of two covering the Vietnam War. The second one will be for period 1968-1975. Hopefully very soon ;-).
The book is from Guillaume Rousseaux for the great Militaria Guide series.
It is full of great photos were real "models" show different Uniform and Equipment worn in the Vietnam War like the expensive Miraldi books but with much better Photos and not filled with so much Information which are more needed by collectors than modelers.
The book shows you the begining years with Advisors Uniforms of 5th Special Forces, ARVN and MAAG and also the follow years until 1967 from Army, Marines, Aviation, Medical, Military Police etc.
The Photos have very good quality and covers every site on full size. You get some small Info Text of the shown Uniform and Equipment in English. There are no LRRP, SEAL or SOG Photos in it, only standard Infantry, Marines etc.
You get not a history book at all but a well researched and very good Photo book. If you know the great book from Kevin Lyles you must have this one too and for me it's better at all.

Here are some Photos, so you get a better feeling for the book.

Thanks for reading and feel free to comment and ask Questions

Regards

Stefan

Hi planeteers,

here is the Homepage of the puplisher:http://livres.histoireetcollections...-americaines-au-vietnam-tome-1-1962-1967.html

the Problem could be that i s brand new and so i think not many shops had it on list also because it´s a french lable. You can order it in french or english. Perhaps you have more luck with the ISBN Number of the book and your lokal shop can order it for you.
I have found it in my lokal shop because they are also specialized in history books.

Greetings

Stefan
