True Faith and Allegiance An American Paratrooper and the 1972 Battle for an Loc

Having myself spent two months on the ground in An Loc during the Easter Offensive, Mike McDermott's personal and heartfelt narrative brought back the searing experience of that battle in vivid and moving detail. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough." - James H. Willbanks, Vietnam veteran and author of The Battle of An Loc, Abandoning Vietnam: How America Left and South Vietnam Lost Its War and The Tet Offensive: A Concise History

"I found it more interesting and more informative than most Vietnam memoirs. Partly, this is because it deals with a period of the war about which not much has been written. Partly, it is because McDermott thinks and writes clearly, and deals with significant issues. He describes the nature of the fighting at An Loc-the forces and weapons, how they were used or misused, and what impact they had-with great clarity." - Edwin E. MoÏse, author of The A to Z of the Vietnam War and Modern China: A History
