First In, Last Out : An American Paratrooper in Vietnam With the 101st and Vietnamese Airborne, Hardcover by Howard, John D., ISBN 0811719626, ISBN-13 9780811719629, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK "Fresh out of West Point, John Howard arrived for his first tour in Vietnam in 1965, the first full year of escalation when . troop levels increased to 184,000 from 23,000 the year before. When he returned for a second tour in 1972, troop strength stood at 24,000 and would dwindle to a mere 50 the following year. He thus participated in the very early and very late stages of American military involvement in the Vietnam War. His two tours--one as a platoon commander and member of an elite counterguerrilla force, the second as a senior advisor to the South Vietnamese--provide a fascinating lens through which to view not only one soldier's experience in Vietnam, but also the country's."--Provided by publisher.
