TRN-141 The Combat Usage of Tanks in Vietnam book

When some one mentions Vietnam the imagination draws a picture of wet and hot jungles. And there is an element of truth in it - during the mansoon season the country from its seaside to the central mountains becomes one big swamp. Due to the climatic peculiarities of Vietnam, the usage of many types of the military vehicles, especially the heavy ones, was very difficult or plain impossible. This book is an attempt to describe the combat usage of armored fighting vehicles in Indo-China.
