WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE...AND YO(ISBN=9780679411581) 下载 pdf 2025 网盘 epub 在线 mobi 免费

Each year, the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps selects one

book that he believes is both relevant and timeless for reading by

all Marines. The Commandant's choice for 1993 was We Were

Soldiers Once . . . and Young.

In November 1965, some 450 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry,

under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopter

into a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediately

surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later,

only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to

pieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray and

Albany constituted one of the most savage and significant battles

of the Vietnam War.

How these men persevered--sacrificed themselves for their comrades

and never gave up--makes a vivid portrait of war at its most

inspiring and devastating. General Moore and Joseph Galloway, the

only journalist on the ground throughout the fighting, have

interviewed hundreds of men who fought there, including the North

Vietnamese commanders. This devastating account rises above the

specific ordeal it chronicles to present a picture of men facing

the ultimate challenge, dealing with it in ways they would have

found unimaginable only a few hours earlier. It reveals to us, as

rarely before, man's most heroic and horrendous endeavor.
