| 內容簡介: |
On April 29, 1968, the North Vietnamese Army is spotted less
than four miles from the U.S. Marines’ Dong Ha Combat Base. Intense
fighting develops in nearby Dai Do as the 2d Battalion, 4th
Marines, known as “the Magnificent Bastards,” struggles to eject
NVA forces from this strategic position.
Yet the BLT 24 Marines defy the brutal onslaught. Pressing
forward, America’s finest warriors rout the NVA from their
fortress-hamlets–often in deadly hand-to-hand combat. At the end of
two weeks of desperate, grinding battles, the Marines and the
infantry battalion supporting them are torn to shreds. But against
all odds, they beat back their savage adversary. The Magnificent
Bastards captures that gripping conflict in all its horror, hell,
and heroism.
“Superb . . . among the best writing on the Vietnam War . . .
Nolan has skillfully woven operational records and oral history
into a fascinating narrative that puts the reader in the thick of
the action.”
–Jon T. Hoffman, author of Chesty
“Real and gripping . . . combat with all the warts on.”
–Lieutenant General Victor H. Krulak, USMC Ret.
