https://www.history.navy.mil/research/publications/publications-by-subject/the-us-navy-and-the-vietnam-war-series.htmlFor more than 25 years, the U.S. and its allies unsuccessfully fought to preserve the independence of free governments in South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The U.S. Navy was at the forefront of this fight with more than 2.6 million sailors and marines serving in the combat theater. In this nine-volume series, the authors examine primary and secondary sources, including declassified documents and first-hand testimonies, to present the U.S. Navy’s involvement in America’s longest war.
Each volume covers specific elements of the Navy’s engagement in Vietnam including the lead-up to the war; the naval air campaigns; combat in the rivers and canals; the experience of POWs; the evacuation of South Vietnam and Cambodia; and the vital efforts made by naval intelligence, medical personnel, and merchant mariners in providing operational and lifesaving support.
Through this series, NHHC historians honor the faithful service of the men and women who served in Southeast Asia, in particular that of the 58,000 Americans who sacrificed their lives.
