The War That Would Not End: U.S. Marines in Vietnam 1971-73

Retired USMC Major Charles D. Melson details the activities of Marine Corps units who were departing from Vietnam in 1971. But hopes that the South Vietnamese would continue to fight successfully after the U.S. departed were crushed after the North Vietnamese launched a full invasion. U.S. Marines were called back to Vietnam and continued to fight until January 1973.

The War That Would Not End describes the actions of these brave U.S. and Vietnamese Marines. Includes descriptions of American prisoners of war and their capture and release dates. It also discusses social issues from racial hostility to drug and alcohol use, to desertions.
