Hal Moore Knihy

Dne 14. listopadu 1965 vysadily vrtulníky v údolí Ia Drang asi 450 mužů amerického 1. praporu 7. pluku kavalérie pod velením podplukovníka Harolda Moora, přičemž je okamžitě obklíčilo kolem dvou tisíc severovietnamských vojáků. O tři dny později byl nedaleko rozdrcen sesterský 2. prapor. Tyto akce v přistávacích zónách X-Ray a Albany představují jednu z nejbrutálnějších a nejdůležitějších bitev ve vietnamské válce. Muži, kteří v boji odolávali, se obětovali pro své kamarády a nikdy se nevzdali, což vytváří živý obraz války, inspirující i šokující. Kromě vlastních zážitků podplukovníka Moora a novináře Josepha Gallowaye, který byl na místě, přispěly k celkovému obrazu bitvy rozhovory se stovkami vojáků, včetně severovietnamských velitelů. Bitva v údolí Ia Drang ukazuje americkou technologickou převahu a první efektivní aeromobilní operace s vrtulníky. Konečná porážka Spojených států ve Vietnamu však nebyla výsledkem lepších válečných schopností severovietnamské armády, ale politických rozhodnutí, která omezila možnosti americké armády. Kromě popisu bojů kniha rekapituluje příčiny a eskalaci konfliktu a zůstává jednou z nejlepších knih o vietnamské válce. Velitel americké námořní pěchoty ji v roce 1993 doporučil každému mariňákovi. Kniha má 320 stran a 8 stran černobílé obrazové přílohy. Podle ní byl natočen film Údolí stínů s Mel Gibsonem.

Each year, the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps selects one book that he believes is both relevant and timeless for reading by all Marines. The Commandant's choice for 1993 is We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young. In November 1965, some 450 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopter into a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediately surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to pieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray and Albany constituted one of the most savage and significant battles of the Vietnam War. How these men persevered--sacrificed themselves for their comrades and never gave up--makes a vivid portrait of war at its most inspiring and devastating. General Moore and Joseph Galloway, the only journalist on the ground throughout the fighting, have interviewed hundreds of men who fought there, including the North Vietnamese commanders. This devastating account rises above the specific ordeal it chronicles to present a picture of men facing the ultimate challenge, dealing with it in ways they would have found unimaginable only a few hours earlier. It reveals to us, as rarely before, man's most heroic and horrendous endeavor.
