Book Description
This is the dramatic history of the HAL-3 Seawolves, the U.S. Navy's first and only helicopter gunship squadron of the Vietnam War. The squadron was established "in country" to support the fast, pugnacious river patrol boats of the brown water navy. Flying combat-worn Hueys borrowed from the Army, the mission of the Seawolves quickly expanded to include rapid response air support to any friendly force in the Delta needing immediate, no-holds-barred assistance. Operating in two-plane detachments from specifically configured LSTs, hastily constructed bases, and primitive campsites, the navy gunships and their crews responded to calls within minutes. Flying in all kinds of weather, day and night, they arrived at tree-top level with forward-firing rockets and flex-guns blazing. Door gunners hung outside the violently maneuvering helicopters delivering a hail of fire with their hand-held M-60 machine guns. The Seawolves inserted SEALs deep into enemy territory, and extracted them, often despite savage enemy opposition. They rescued friendly combatants from almost certain capture or death, and evacuated the wounded when Medevac helicopters were not available.
Gleaned from historical documents and the colorful recollections of more than sixty Seawolf warriors, this is the first complete history of the most decorated Navy squadron of the Vietnam War. Naval aviator Richard Knott recounts the story of the Seawolves from the dawning of the concept to the moment the last squadron commander turned out the lights.

Seawolf Veteran Comments.......2006-07-13
This is an excellent read. The facts are what they are and adequately support the "Sea Stories". Outstanding documentation and photos which gives the writer a grip on the reality of the Vietnam era warfare. It was especially gratifying to have the author go to extreme effort to conduct the personal interviews rather than just "wing it".

Rich on Anecdotes but Lacking in Substance.......2005-11-16
The Vietnam War was the first conflict since the American Civil War where the U.S. Navy fought extensively along rivers. Riverine warfare demanded new technology and tactics, and the U.S. Navy responded to these challenges with remarkable rapidity. It quickly deployed a river patrol boat (PBR) based on a commercial design that drew only 9-18 inches of water and was powered by water jets. Fast and heavily armed with .50-caliber machine guns, the PBR proved very effective at interdicting enemy watercraft along the shallow tributaries of the Mekong River. The unarmored, fiberglass patrol boats, however, also turned out to be vulnerable to enemy firepower, especially machine guns and recoilless rifles. To protect the PBR force, the Navy developed the first and only light helicopter attack squadron in its history: the HA(L)-3 "Seawolves." Initially, these helicopters provided quick response close air support for the PBRs of Task Forces116 and 117, but eventually their role expanded to include medical evacuation, special operations, and air support for friendly forces in the Mekong Delta requiring assistance.
Fire from the Sky traces the Navy's Vietnam experience with light attack helicopters from the deployment of two Hueys on a landing ship dock Belle Grove (LSD-2) in 1966 through the disestablishment of HA(L)-3 on 16 March 1972. A retired U.S. Navy officer, and former editor of Naval Aviation News magazine, the author has written three other books on naval aviation topics, including a history of Navy Catalina patrol bombers in World War II.
In his acknowledgments, the author reveals he wrote this book as a Ramsey Fellow at the National Air & Space Museum, and benefited greatly from unit history records held by the Naval Historical Center's Aviation History Branch. He also interviewed numerous Seawolf veterans, including many of the unit's commanding and executive officers.
Given the author's substantive credentials and his access to oral history material, this reader expected a definitive history of the Seawolves-a book similar to Carol Reardon's recently published history of Naval Attack Squadron 75 in 1972, Launch the Intruders (Lawrence, KS: University Press of Kansas, 2005). In short, a book that blends operational history derived from an exhaustive examination of official documents with personal experiences gleaned from oral history. What I discovered was a book that contained some colorful descriptions of various actions, but not much else.
The Naval Historical Center recently declassified troves of documents on the activities of the Commander Naval Forces Vietnam (COMNAVFORV) and its subordinate units, including the records the River Patrol Force (TF-116) and the Mobile Riverine Force (TF-117). Knott never once refers to these documents, which include detailed action reports covering many the engagements chronicled in his book, as well as intelligence reports, monthly summaries, statistics, and other information useful for connecting HA(L)-3 to the broader war effort. Instead, he relies mainly on historical chronologies produced by HA(L)-3 and oral history to re-construct the unit's operations. As consequence, the book often struggles to place the activities of HA(L)-3 in a larger context. We learn a great deal about numerous small actions fought by helicopters and the derring-do of various pilots and door gunners but very little about how these efforts contributed to broader U.S. Navy operations such as Game Warden or Sea Lords. How effective were the Seawolves in protecting the PBRs and other small boats that plied the dangerous waterways of the Mekong River Delta? Was HA(L)-3 a force multiplier or an expensive luxury redundant with other air assets in the region?
Lack of context and broader analysis aside, I thought this book, given its heavy reliance on oral history, would at least illuminate the institutional culture of the Seawolves. However, even the book's combat descriptions come across as pedestrian because of the author's failure to develop his characters more fully. Unlike Reardon, who probes deeply into her dramatis personae, even going so far as to interview spouses, Knott rarely provides insights into the social backgrounds or ideology of the men who fought in the Seawolves. The light attack helicopter mission is not a traditional role for a U.S. Navy pilot. It's one more commonly associated with the ground services. How did Navy pilots fare in this role and how did their unique backgrounds help or hinder them in this strange role?
As the U.S. Navy enters the fourth year of the Global War on Terrorism, the service is once again taking a look at non-traditional missions such as riverine warfare. It developed the SH-60R, "Strikehawk," in response to deficiencies in attack helicopter aviation identified in the First Gulf War. This new helicopter carries offensive and defensive weapons, including Hellfire Missiles and .50-caliber machine guns. A comprehensive operational history of HA(L)-3 is therefore needed to help the Navy's leadership develop effective doctrine for this new helicopter. Unfortunately, this book will neither satisfy Navy leaders nor scholars of the Vietnam War. Written primarily as a tribute to the HA(L)-3 and its veterans, readers will find some interesting accounts of small actions as told by the people who fought in them but little information of substance on the broader contribution made by this squadron to the Navy's overall war effort in Vietnam.

The River's Tale : A Year on the Mekong
ASIN: 0871137526 |
Amazon.com
In the mid-19th century, the major powers of Europe descended on East Asia, determined to forge empires. The French, who came to what is now Vietnam and Cambodia, sought to join their holdings there to the scattered French colonies farther north in China, but they were faced with a problem: the Mekong River, which laces through Indochina, was not mapped. In the dry season, little more than a wide stream, but in the monsoon season "an uncontrollable torrent, spilling over its banks to turn hundreds of square miles of dry land into a massive patchwork of temporary lakes," the Mekong was a formidable obstacle.
In 1866 a party of six French explorers, led by a young officer named Doudart de Lagrée and his lieutenant, Francis Garnier, set out to travel the river to its unknown source. Though de Lagrée died of fever in Cambodia, the remaining French explorers, led by Garnier, ventured onward into the mountains of southwestern China. Garnier and his men traveled across more than 4,000 miles of uncharted territory in their two-year journey, but never reached the Mekong's source, which remained unknown until just recently. Turning defeat to advantage, however, they mapped major portions of the then-unknown Red River, opening it to French trade. First published in 1975, Milton Osborne's adventure-filled narrative of their dangerous journey is a fine contribution to the history of exploration, and makes for enjoyable reading. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
In 1866, six Frenchmen set out on a dangerous mission to seek a trade route up the Mekong. During the two years that followed, they would journey through more than four thousand miles of unmapped territory, from the tropical heat of the swamps of Vietnam and Cambodia to the bitter cold of the mountain ranges of southwestern China. Their historic expedition is the dramatic subject of River Road to China by world-renowned Southeast Asia expert Milton Osborne. Selected by The New York Times as one of the best books of 1975 when it was originally published, this edition has been updated to include a new postscript by the author and more than thirty full-color illustrations by the expedition's artist.

Beyond the imagination.......2001-01-20
Osborne's book is an excellent account of the first European expedition up the Mekong River, from Saigon into the Southwestern region of the Chinese empire. As it is based on official and unofficial records of the exploration, written by the actual members of the French team, the account is both vivid and accurate, and conveys so much of the hardship and heartache experienced by the Frenchmen and those who accompanied them. It is also a profound and readable introduction to the history of Southeast Asia, its relation to China, and its position as the centerpiece of a colonial competition for trade, conquest, and scientific discovery. Great book!

"The Mekong scours some of the saddest history of recent years," writes Edward A. Gargan in this richly described and melancholic tale of his journey through Tibet, China, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Thirty years after landing in jail for refusing to register for the draft, the war-protester-turned-foreign-correspondent decided to see for himself how these countries have brought themselves back from the brink, and how their myriad cultures are struggling to preserve themselves. Beginning at the source of the Mekong River, near a camp of nomads high on the Tibetan plateau, he followed the 3,000 mile-long waterway through the heart of some of Asia's most complex and wounded societies. While the first half of Gargan's story, which focuses on China's demolition of Tibetan and other minority cultures, is interesting, it becomes gripping in the claustrophobic paranoia of Laos and post-Pol Pot Cambodia. Ultimately it becomes clear that while America lost the war in Vietnam, it has never left the region--lingering in the scars of war and inversely the creeping acceptance, if not embrace, of all things American. --Lesley Reed
Book Description
The River’s Tale is a deeply informed personal chronicle of a remarkable journey down the Mekong River as it runs through China, Tibet, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. In it Edward A. Gargan tells a stirring tale of adventure that reveals the Mekong’s many worlds.
Beginning in 1998, Gargan was at last able to pursue his long-held dream of traveling the three thousand miles of the river and lingering where he wished. He was, in a sense, coming to terms with places and peoples with which he had already linked his life. His youthful opposition to the Vietnam War had been the first manifestation of his passionate interest in Asia, where he subsequently spent much of his career as a New York Times correspondent.
His travels show us a kind of modernity settling uneasily on regions still mired in backwardness and poverty, and shadows that linger so many years after the end of the Vietnam War. We visit Internet cafés in dirt-streeted towns near thatched-hut villages without electricity. The magnificent Angkor Wat, a hub of tourism, is surrounded by the ruins engendered by Pol Pot’s genocidal reign. We see plodding mule trains caravanning sacks of opium through Burma on their way to China to be processed and distributed to the West. Tibetan horsemen adorned in silver and amber jewelry herd yaks across endless grasslands as their ancestors did, though their culture is under siege by the Chinese. Vietnamese salesmen scooter around Saigon hawking American soaps, passing by outcast children fathered by American soldiers and left behind. Buddhism flowers in a Laos ravaged by communism. Sex tourism thrives in prosperous Thailand, a trade chiefly involving teenagers, who pay a deadly price.
And throughout, there is the Mekong—shaping landscapes, linking cultures, sustaining populations, showcasing spectacular beauty. Edward Gargan is an acutely observant, sympathetic guide to a fascinating world, and he has written a powerful and lyrical book.

readable if unspectacular.......2006-09-17
I first read THE RIVER'S TALE in hardcover, and found it interesting enough - I was at the time more engrossed with the details of travel in a part of the world I would very much like to see.
On my second pass through the book, a year or so later, certain weakneses did become apparent - Gargan's own politics and background might be in line with some of my own values, but the book seemed to slip into condescension and a touch of self-mythologizing in places, which is unforgivable. Gargan is a very strong writer, and crafts some extremely evocative prose, though his technical skills are at times the only thing that pulls one through.
Similarly, Gargan's occasional complaining is puzzling, as he allegedly has enough experience in this part of the world to know what he's getting into on a trek like this. Oh well.
There are brilliant bits however, especially as he travels downriver into Cambodia and Vietnam. Approaching the finale, THE RIVER'S TALE manages to rise above it's many flaws and express something of the wonder of the place that I wish had been present in other sections of the book.
-David Alston
Patronizing. .......2005-12-24
Patronizing and incredibly ignorant. What a shame some people will learn about the River and the region for the first time from this book.
Gargan's Tale............2005-02-15
From Tibet to the South China Sea, Edward Gargan follows the Mekong while opining upon the people who call the watershed home. As travelogues go, this book is neither fantastic nor particularly poor. What heights it could have hit are limited by the imposition of his political views, yet Gargan's powers of description save it from becoming an ideological screed. Gargan deftly intertwines his geographical position with complaints about the oppressor most responsible for the local malaise. Some of these complaints are beyond doubt, such as Tibetan treatment at the hands of the Chinese and the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge, but others seem a bit overwrought. Indeed, one is tempted to remind Mr. Gargan that, had he one positive observation about the U.S., he would not stand convicted of jingoism.
Edward Gargan makes a telling statement near the end of the book where he summarily announces that he'd rather live abroad than in any city in the United States. A reader of travelogues should expect an honest attempt to address the cultural issues, flora, fauna, geography, architecture, etc., of the locality advertised. Gargan's The River's Tale doesn't quite get there for the need to repeatedly identify an entirely different part of the world as worthy of his disdain.
Unquestionably biased, bereft of humor, at times shockingly myopic, (Gargan just can't wrap his mind around why many Vietnamese hold America in high esteem), The River's Tale somehow remains an entertaining read. I picked it up hoping for a riverine excursion through leafy asian jungles. Gargan doesn't deliver this, but something else: political travel. It deserves 4 stars for overcoming my disappointment. But, then, I love travel so much, I was willing to go along for the ride.
The River's Tale - worth a second look.......2004-06-08
The first time I read this book I felt bogged down and board, but I decided to give it a second chance. And I'm glad I did, because Gargan's travels are, at times, incredibly entertaining. As we travel the Mekong River with Mr.Gargan we are introduced to many interesting characters one of my favorites was Dakpa Kelden, a Tibetan man who accompanies Gargan early on his journey. The histories of the people we meet along the way, as well as that of the countries themselves are remarkable. Mr. Gargan on top of being accurate is also lyrical with this work. At times his description of a flower, town, or the river it self are so magnificent that you have to read it again. Overall a good read, especially for those interested in travel, but easy to over look.
Not Worth Reading.......2004-02-20
I read most of this book last month on a return trip home to Thailand. I regret wasting the money. Edward Gargan's book is not about the river, but is rather a self-serving expedition into rationalizing his own sordid background of anti-war protests, prison, and his penchant for berating anything not `American' according to his own definition. Anyone considering purchasing this book would do well to read the introduction first, as this lays the theme for the rest of the book. In fact, most of the book simply seeks to justify the author's mid-60's conception of what the world ought to look like, and ignores the realities of life in Asia. It's hard to believe the author claims to have lived here so long; his naivety is overwhelming throughout the book. Indicative is his journey into Tibet, which consisted of a drive into the Dzatoe countryside and a short hike which the author fears may cause death due to debilitating altitude sickness. From this brief excursion he proceeds to extrapolate his experience into a condemnation of the entire Chinese history in the region! This is a very shallow book, poorly written, and about as adventuresome as an anti-war demonstration in San Francisco, which appears to be the author's main claim to fame. For anyone who knows the Mekong, or is interested in finding out more, there are much more balanced and thorough publications to read.

The triumph of micro-history.......2003-06-26
David Elliott's magnum opus, "The Vietnamese War: Revolution and Social Change in the Mekong Delta 1930 - 1975," is quite simply the best book there is about the Vietnam War. It is also one of the longest, at 1547 pages, which may limit its appeal to non-specialists.
The principal strenths of this work are two:
1) Where most scholars of the Vietnam War have focused their efforts mainly on American sources, Elliott draws the majority of his evidence from Vietnamese who fought for the Viet Minh or the NLF. In particular, he uses 415 in-depth interviews of prisoners and defectors conducted as part of a major RAND project during the war (Elliott himself worked on this project). He also relies on about 100 Vietnamese-language post-war histories. Together with a judicious selection of English-language works and some US government data, the Vietnamese sources provide an evidentiary base that overlaps very little with existing studies in English.
2) Although he does not ignore the larger strategic currents of the war, Elliott focuses like a laser beam on the local revolutionary processes of a single Vietnamese province. Although he carefully synthesizes his evidence into an overall narrative, Elliott allows the full complexity of events to shine through at every turn, often in the first-person recollections of the revolutionaries themselves.
My reservations about the book mainly concern the theoretical context in which it is situated. Elliott's intended audience appears to be a narrow group of Southeast Asia and Vietnam War specialists. He shows little concern with the far more interesting and recent generalist literature about civil war processes by e.g., Elizabeth Wood, Stathis Kalyvas, or Roger Petersen. Debates about, e.g., whether or not the Vietnam War "could have been won" are extremely stale, and a scholar of Elliott's magnitude shouldn't be wasting his time on them.
This is not a book for the casual reader, and it is not a book for someone whose main concern is about what Americans did in the Vietnam War. However, for anyone who takes a serious scholarly interest 20th century Vietnamese history or the systematic study of political violence and civil war, Elliott's book is indispensable.
Book Description
The Vietnam war is over, and Grandfather and young Nam dream that the new dikes will restore the wetlands, bringing home the beautiful cranes that once filled the winter sky. But other villagers think that growing rice is a more practical use for the land. "This is a beautiful book with many layers of meaning and an important message. The simple illustrations...are lovely and appealing."--School Library Journal.

Grandfather's Dream is a dream read!.......2005-06-09
This is an invaluable book in the classroom! I am using it with a study of Vietnam for 1/2 grade gifted students. It would be an excellent vehicle to convey the message to any classroom that if we have a healthy environment, we have a healthy planet. It is gently written but tells so much about the culture and people of Vietnam.
Grandfather's Dream.......2000-11-01
I am surprised no one else has written a review of this book. It is an excellent book, used in many school districts as multicultural, narrative literature. THis book can be teamed with Sadako and/or the Magic Crane to show examples of the belief that cranes bring good luck. It can even be tied in with an origami lesson on folding paper cranes.

Book Description
The Legend of the Golden Boat provides a new approach to the study of Southeast Asia's northern borderlands. Based on extensive travel in the upper Mekong hinterland, it is a fascinating account of the lives of the transport operators, traders, entrepreneurs, and government officials who are contributing to the contemporary revival in upper Mekong cross-border connections.This ethnographic study is set against an intriguing background of war, revolution, and reform, providing one of the most detailed histories of the upper Mekong borderlands ever written.

A new perspective on an interesting region.......1999-10-22
After an historical overview of the upper-Mekong region this book provides four case studies that illustrate the growth in cross Mekong trade over the past decade. The case studies examine cross river boat operators, long distance truck and boat operators, long distance traders and the export trade in Lao timber. My favorite was the study of long distance traders, which illustrates how Lao women have come to play an important part in this trade. The study of cross river boat operators is also a detailed ethnographic account of life on the border. The theoretical perspective on regulation (while I did not agree with it at times) provides a productive new approach to the study of national borders. The author's claim that open borders can be more regulated that the closed borders they have replaced is bound to spark some interesting debate. This is a valuable book for those with an interest in the Mekong region, borders and the ethnography of northern Thailand and Laos.

In the Naga's Wake by Mick O'Shea.......2007-10-10
Behind the 70s-looking action/retro cover is the tale of old-fashioned exploration and discovery detailing the author's trials and tribulations in becoming the first man to navigate the Mekong river from its source in Tibet to the South China Sea. This first-hand account of what is quite an incredible journey takes awhile to heat up, although the extract from O'Shea's journal at a dangerous and critical point of the expedition, given at the start of the book and set in italics gives a compelling and personal introduction to the journey.
O'Shea's account includes the quest for funds, battles and fallouts with his team, as well as descriptions of the challenges he faced on the water as he kayaked the length of the Mekong. While it is a personal account, in many ways it reads more like a sequence of events rather than evoking a response from the reader - you are told it's cold, rather than feeling it. However, the book does not intended to be a literary masterpiece. It tells the tale of the impressive journey and includes interesting geological and cultural facts. It also introduces kayaking terminology such as `fat bastards' and `boils' as well as invites the reader to consider environmental ecology from a different point of view.
While it is not a `must read' it is a worthwhile read. Once I had accepted that it was the books intention to document the trip first and foremost, as opposed to giving voice to the interesting people he met along the way, I was able to enjoy the book for what it is.
