List of Viet Nam Books

The books listed here are ones Kevin has collected over the years and Nik suggested we list them on the site to assist visitors looking for books covering specific topics, actions, units or locations. There are about 400 books in the database and using the fields below it is possible to search the list based on a variety of criteria most of which is self explanatory. Index refers to whether or not the book includes an index. Summary can be searched using keywords (POW, helicopter, Khe Sanh, corpsman, etc). Type is an effort to characterize the book in general (memoir, reference, picture book, oral history etc). The entire list can be sorted by clicking on any of the blue column titles.

While the books are not available for loan, I'd be happy to determine whether they cover something specific for you. If you have suggestions for books to add to the list or would like more information about a particular book contact Kevin using the link at the bottom of the page.
