Free via KDP Select @ Amazon:
Last Plane Out of Saigon by Richard Pena & John Hagan, a military history memoir. This is new from start-up Story Merchant Books, who've previously republished some vintage pulp crime thrillers. The full blurb notes that Hagan is a prominent professor with many publications to his credit. In 1973, sixty-one days after the Paris Peace Accords was signed specifying that American troops must withdraw from Vietnam—one day beyond the terms of the agreement—Richard Pena, was among the final handful of Americans to leave the country. LAST PLANE OUT OF SAIGON is a faithful reproduction of the journal he kept as a draftee working in the operating room of Vietnam's largest military hospital during the final year of the war. Supporting historical and political context is provided by award-winning scholar, John Hagan. Richard’s entries were written in real time and, as they chronicle the last desperate year of this tragic war, present readers with a better understanding of the complicated final year of the Vietnam War from the inside, looking out. A year that tragically remains unfamiliar to most Americans. Last edited by ATDrake; 09-07-2014 at 11:19 AM. Reason: Don't actually need the full blurb for a decent teaser description to decide if you want to look at this or not. |

Free from the author via KDP Select @ Amazon:
THE BATTLE OF JERUSALEM - a Short History of the Six-Day War: June 1967 by Clifford Irving, originally out from Macmillan in 1970. A short and spellbinding book about the Six-Day War of June 1967, in which Israel fought for its life for the third time in its brief history – and won a decisive victory against overwhelming odds. The author was there as a correspondent for NBC-TV, became a friend of Israeli soldiers and pilots, witnessed part of the battle for the Golan Heights, and traveled post-war to the Suez Canal in a command car with Irwin Shaw, Jules Dassin, and Martha Gellhorn. Illustrated with rare and moving photographs of the battles, plus clear maps. |
