{"product_id":"9781782000600","title":"Vietnam Riverine Craft 1962-75","description":"In 1965 the military situation in the Mekong River Delta of southern Vietnam had deteriorated to such a degree that the decision was made to commit a joint US Army and Navy Mobile Riverine Force to the area. This force was unique in its composition, mission, and the means by which it operated – riverine craft. Comprising the Army's 2d Brigade, 9th Infantry Division, and the Navy's River Assault Flotilla One, it used a variety of watercraft, including heavily modified landing craft, purpose-built patrol boats, and a whole host of auxiliary and support craft. This book explores those craft, and also gives an account of Task Force Clearwater, a much smaller operation in the extreme northern part of South Vietnam.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157729198320,"sku":"9781782000600","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781782000600_p0.jpg?v=1769891289","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781782000600","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
