[Following is a volunteer review of "Deadly Waters: The Vietnam Naval War And Its Aftermath" by Randy Miller.]
The description of the naval activities during the Vietnam War in Randy Miller's Deadly Waters: The Vietnam Naval War and Its Aftermath is excellently written and well-researched. The book offers a thorough analysis of the naval side of the war, covering everything from the early stages of the battle to the last American troop departure. The book offers a thorough analysis of the naval operations, tactics, and strategies employed by the US and its allies, as well as the forces of North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. The aftermath of the war and its effects on naval operations are the main topics of the book's concluding chapter.
Zachariah Martin, a young naval recruit who has just graduated from boot camp, is featured in the book's opening chapters as he attempts to comprehend what life is like for a naval officer on The Destroyer and his responsibilities. The book starts with a summary of Vietnam's maritime history, covering the French colonization of the area, US engagement in the area, and the progression of the Vietnam War. The author goes into detail on the naval strategies that the US and its allies employed, including the deployment of aircraft carriers, battleships, and submarines.
I enjoyed how the author turns the likes of Zach and the boats into actual characters. I also appreciated how the book went in-depth about both the navy's lexicon and way of life.
One of the merits of the book is Miller's ability to communicate the experiences of individuals who served in Vietnam. He spoke with a large number of veterans, and their experiences shed important light on what it was like to be a sailor during the conflict. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the various naval operations that took place, including the Tonkin Gulf incident and Operation Market Time.
However, I ran into some problems with my ability to grasp the conversations among the navy officials, which was already a weakness of mine. I appreciate the author's efforts since they helped me see that I needed to improve the adaptability of the accents I was already familiar with. I don't have any negative feelings towards this magnificent piece of artwork.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. The history is given a human touch through Miller's engaging writing style and the utilization of soldiers' narratives. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys literature, especially students, and to anyone who enjoys military history, especially naval history.
