This rare and museum-grade artifact is an original very limited “FIRST EDITION” printing of the Vietnam War Studies series published by the Department of the Army (Washington D.C.). This Vietnam War report contains some of the most detailed maps, photographs, reports, charts, graphs, and first-hand accounts from some of the most infamous combat operations and battles of the Vietnam War.
Authored by Lieutenant General Joseph M. Heiser Jr. (22 January 1914 – 9 April 1994) was a United States Army officer who served in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War; he oversaw the Army's logistical support operations during the height of the Vietnam War then served as U.S. Army Assistant Chief of Staff for Logistics during the final years of that war.
This original Vietnam War operational report series was produced in limited first print quantities, however, what makes this particular report even rarer is that this report comes directly from the private collection of Fred McLaughlin (Platoon Leader and Special Forces Medic with Mike Force Special Forces Airborne in the II Corps military sector of South Vietnam). During this heroic service in Vietnam, Fred McLaughlin was wounded in combat actions and awarded 4 Purple Hearts. His awards include the Combat Medic Badge, Air Medal with Valor, Bronze Star, and Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm. This “FIRST PRINT” report was from the personal collection of a Vietnam War hero.
