    A Good Read
  

*by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016*

I recently finished reading Ed Gilbert's "Marine Corps Tanks Battles in Vietnam". Before I was halfway through the book I had already ordered his book about Marine tanks in Korea. I intend to read all of his books on the subject.Although I am a former Marine tank crewman, I served on M60A1 tanks from 1980 to 1984. Thankfully I never had to endure combat. So I can't claim to have any personal knowledge about the accuracy of the book. But when I was in many of the senior SNCOs and a few of the Officers had been in Vietnam. None of the men that I knew are mentioned in the book, but the situations, the actions, the jargon, and everything else, described in the book ring true to what these men told us and taught us.There's something else too. The Marine Corps is smaller then the other services [other than the Coast Guard], much smaller. And tanks are a tiny little, obscure, corner of the Corps. Over the years very little has been written about the role of Marine armor. I appreciate Ed Gilbert bringing the courage, sacrifice, and combat skill of Marine tankers to life in this book.It's a good read.

    Tanks in Vietnam?
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2013*

Good book that puts a light on a part of the war in Vietnam (a part of US History that many people have been misled about). Until a person reads this book they will not know the part that US Marine Corps Tankers played in the Vietnam War. For a better understanding of the Vietnam War I would also suggest reading Con Thien Hill of Angles and Praying for Slack. Both were written by Marines who served in the Marine Corps 3rd Division which operated up along the DMZ that divided South and North Vietnam. Con Thien Hill of Angles gives a very accurate account of the war just leading up to and briefly after the 1968 TET Offensive. Praying for Slack provides the reader with the experiences of a young 19 year old Marine assigned to Bravo Company, 5th Tank Battalion 5th Marine Division as the Marines in that Company unexpectedly leave Camp Pendleton as a unit (most Marines rotated into and out of units that were in the 1st and 3rd Marine Divisions) to support Marine Corps units in Vietnam and what combat was like for Marine Corps Tank crews who served in that Marine Corps tank company for the next 13 months along the infamous DMZ.

    USMC Tank Battles in Vietnam
  

*by N***. on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2013*

This book provides a good insight into the life of a Marine Corps Tanker in Vietnam.  Dr. Gilbert gives a good, concise background of Vietnam and U.S. involvement in Vietnam prior to talking about USMC tank involvement in the conflict.  Some of the sticking points of the book for me:-The misunderstandings of tank capabilities by Battalion and Division, thus throwing tanks into roles they were not best suited or intended for (i.e. long range artillery, guarding bridges, security on convoys, etc.)-The love/hate relationship that some of the Infantry had for the tanks (Some Grunts saw Tanks as bullet magnets);-Many of the accounts are based on oral interviews of those present at the time as opposed to written accounts or After Action Reports, thus resulting in events not necessarily sequenced and accounts not necessarily agreed on by all parties (Dr. Gilbert alludes to this in the beginning of the book and explains why accounts are as so and the reasons why there were not may written records available for USMC Tank Actions in Vietnam).Overall, a really good book. Recommended read for Tank Enthusiasts or Vietnam History buffs.  Must read for USMC 1812's and 1802's
