Default In The Land Of Nine Dragons

IN THE LAND OF NINE DRAGONS.


The history of the 2nd Battalion, 60th Infantry, Ninth Division in Southeast Asia, 1966-1970 . My old unit.

This new book about the history of my battalion in Vietnam and Cambodia is being printed and is scheduled to be back from the printer on 20 July 2010.

A friend of mine who served during some of the same time periods and the same places I did is an associate editor and sent me the latest info on the new book. Bob Vargas, who was also in the Recon platoon and now resides in Arizona. They sent me the latest info on it and I just ordered my copy.

The book has 489 total pages, page size of 8.5" X 11", a soft cover, and is perfect bound.

The history includes 36 maps, 64 pictures, 58 sidebars of topical interest, complete text of all of the battalion's unit citations, and the locations & names 34 base camps, TOCs, patrol bases & S-4 locations of the 2/60 Inf.

The history also includes a Memorial Roll (those who gave their lives) with 349 names, a Medically Retired List with 244 names, and rosters with more than 5,700 names.

If anyone would like more information about the contents of the book, for information about how to purchase the book, and for contact points for any questions please go to these websites at:
