Since Hossfly mentioned a good book about the Vietnam war.
I'll mention one that has affected me personally. The book is titled:
"Sappers in the Wire: The Life and Death of Firebase Mary Ann"
No, I wasn't there, (thankfully) but my high school friend whom I was drafted with was one of 30 American soldiers killed in the attack.
When 50 'Sappers" (think vietnamese ninjas in just their underwear) with AK-47's and high explosive satchel charges on a suicide mission. They overran the firebase in the last major US defeat of the war.
In my opinion, it's one of the best books about the Vietnam war during the last years.
