A well-crafted and engaging history of the Coast Guard s unusual and dangerous involvement in Vietnam. From the haunting account of the Air Force s accidental and fatal attack on the Coast Guard patrol boat Point Welcome, to the gripping description of sea battles with North Vietnamese gunrunners, Scotti leads his readers on an exciting sortie into the little-known world of the Coast Guard in Vietnam. Includes photos and a well-researched historical overview of perhaps the least-understood branch of the military.
