Early in the Vietnam War Pentagon Officials believed Vietnam was no place for armor. They were wrong. The tanks, Armored Personnel Carriers, self-propelled howitzers, and armored gun trucks played a vital role in defending forward fire support bases, landing zones, bridges, and convoys. Moreover, the tanks, armored infantry, and armored cavalry were very effective in search and destroy and reconnaissance missions, and were a formidable force in combat assault operations.
In addition to the 150 photographs, there are official after-action reports, and contemporaneous articles detailing battles between American armored fighting vehicles and the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong. There are photos of one of the Soviet-made T-76 Tanks that attacked Ben Het Special Forces Camp near the Laotian border, which was the only tank-to-tank battle between American and North Vietnamese tanks in the Vietnam War.
