ReviewsMore praise forThe Rise and Fall of an American Army "Stanton captures vividly . . . the ferocity of the fighting. At times, his descriptions make you think he's writing about the bloody front in World War I . . . . [This book] provides fresh confirmation that . . . in battle after battle, American troops fought with incredible courage." The American Spectator "Stanton has written by far the best book yet published about U.S. soldiers and marines in combat in Vietnam. . . . His word pictures of the violent encounters of that war are clear, evocative and authentic." GEN. WILLIAM E. DEPUY ARMYmagazine "A lasting tribute to the men who fought and died in Vietnam. Those who served thereand those who would understand those who served thereowe [Stanton] an enormous debut of gratitude." COL.

Synopsis"THE MEN WHO SACRIFICED FOR THEIR COUNTRY ARE RIGHTFULLY HERALDED . . . This is an honest bookone well worth reading. . . . Stanton has laid his claim to the historian's ranks by providing his reader with well-documented, interpretive assessments." Parameters The Vietnam War remains deep in the nation's consciousness. It is vital that we know exactly what happened thereand who made it happen. This book provides a complete account of American Army ground combat forceswho they were, how they got to the battlefield, and what they did there. Year by year, battlefield by battlefield, the narrative follows the war in extraordinary, gripping detail. Over the course of the decade, the changes in fighting and in the combat troops themselves are described and documented.The Rise and Fall of an American Armyrepresents the first total battlefield history of Army ground forces in the Vietnam War, containing much previously unreleased archival material. It re-creates the feel of battle with dramatic precision. "Stanton's writing . . . gives the reader a terrifying graphic description of combat in the many mini-environments of Vietnam." TheNew York Times "[A] MOVING, IMPORTANT BOOK." St. Louis Post-Dispatch From the Paperback edition.
