Know about the book -

US Marine Rifleman in Vietnam 1965–73 is written by Charles D. Melson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 178200162X (ISBN 10) and 9781782001621 (ISBN 13).

This volume provides an in-depth look at the experience of the ordinary US marine 'grunt' in Vietnam. Organisation of the corps, weaponry, equipment, uniforms, training and medical arrangements are all discussed. However, where this book differs from other similar works is not only in the detail that it goes into but also in the unifying theme of examining all these differing aspects of marine life from the point of view of a soldier serving in the conflict. The author, Charles Melson, actually served in Vietnam, and it is this personal experience that allows him to provide such a unique angle on the subject.
