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 Carroll H. Dunn, Leutenant General (Ret.) Carroll H. Dunn began his 35-year Army Engineering career in 1938, which took him from a Second Lieutenant through Lieutenant General, U. S. Army. His career included a Battalion Commander at age 26 with 11 months combat in World War II, construction supervision of projects such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Manned Spacecraft Center at Houston, Arkansas River Navigation and Flood Control Project, and both Titan II Missile Base construction and Ballistic Missile Early Warning System for the Air Force. Other assignments included Director of Construction and Logistics for the Military Assistance Command in Vietnam, Deputy Chief of the Army Corps of Engineers, and Director of the Defense Nuclear Agency.
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.
