Summary: A Back Handed Compliment
Comment: Nolans Operation Buffalo was a very good book, no doubt about that in my mind. But he could have done more research on events leading up to it.
Prior to Operation Buffalo, there was Operation Hastings and Prairie. I was there! It is very hard for people to appreciate the unique terrain, weather, animals and other issues along the DMZ before the build up in that area. Our Maps were from a travel agency, so incomming could be from anyone and mostly was at the time.
He refers to BLT 1/3's Charlie Company as Chickenshit Charlie on Operation Prairie. If he got that information from Wickwire, I am ashamed and outraged that a U.S. Marine Corps Officer would make that statement. I would like someone to go into the area before the defoliant Agent Orange and the tons and tons of bombs that leveled the terrain and say that again.
Definately worth buying and reading, even worth sending copies to all your friends, but I would like to set the record straight anyway.

Summary: A very real and well written account .
Comment: Operation Buffalo should be made into a Movie as it the best written book I have ever read about what the Marines and Corpsmen of Northern I Corps endured in Viet Nam. Time and again the men of the First Battalion Ninth Marines found themselves fighting against numerically superiour forces with very little support available at critical moments. Mention is made in the book that the First Battalion Ninth Marines was marked by the North Vietnames Army for destruction. I can't say for sure that this was true, but "The Walking Dead" nick-name was was paid for in blood. Keith N. Price Former HM3 Disability Retired Bravo Company, First Battalion Ninth Marines

Summary: I was there!!
Comment: All I want to say is that I was there in Brovo 1/9 I lost my best friend there and to this day I still have a hard time with it, as I'm sure I always will. I love this country and I'm prood to say that I'm a Marine.
