MARINES: VIETNAM WAR (Illustrated History of the… av Edwin Simmons
A good coverage of the US Marines in the Vietnam War. It covers the higher commands better than the experience of the average marine, which I think is fine but it might not be what someone expects from an illustrated history. My major gripe with this book was it's many tiny maps, which often did not mention the places talked about in the text. It would have been much better if we had a few larger maps that could be read with ease.

"Womne" is not even a topic listed in the index. The book is organized by operation, which makes it fairly easy to ignore or loose the support-related activities of women.

The term "Marines" it can be said, now refers to both men and women - so why should women be singled out for special mention? For the very reason that if women are not aluded to - all their contributions are lost.… (mer)
