A War Not Won

by Ernest D. Peixotto

Overview

A personal account of the courageous men of an Army Combat Engineer Battalion during our most unpopular war. They faced constant danger from enemy attacks as they cleared jungles, built roads and bridges through dangerous Viet Cong sanctuary areas, built airfields and fire support bases, cleared mines and booby traps, and lived through nightly enemy mortar and rocket attacks only to push further into Viet Cong held territory the next day. They were combat engineers in the finest tradition of the United States Army.
