Weapons & Field Gear of the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong (Hardcover) by Edward J. Emering (Author) Hardcover: 160 pagesPublisher: Schiffer Publishing (August 1998)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 0764305832ISBN-13: 978-0764305832 Product Dimensions: 11.1 x 8.7 x 0.9 inches Shipping Weight: 2.6 pounds Field gear and inert weapons and ordnance have long been popular items with militaria collectors. The Vietnam War by its very nature offers an incredible range and variety of these items for the interested collector. The North Vietnamese and their puppet troops of the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong or VC) relied primarily on communist allies (Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba and various Eastern Bloc countries of the era) for their weapons and field gear. For this reason, Vietnam represents a microcosm of gear from all of this century's wars, dating back to World War I, as well as a wide range of improvised weapons and equipment. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the variety of hand grenades used by the enemy, including Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Eastern European, French, Japanese and even modified, captured U.S. grenades. Although impossible to completely catalog the extreme variety of weapons and field gear used by the PAVN and VC, author Edward Emering has made a determined effort to present a wide overview of the weapons and field gear used from the late-1950s through the modern era. He has been aided in his goal by obtaining access to the world class collection of the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum, located in Chicago, Illinois and by material from a number of extensive private collections. This book will help both the serious collector as well as those individuals interested in acquiring only a token piece of history to avoid potentially costly mistakes. A value guide is included. Book is used but overall on the plus side of Very Good. The inside liner page has my brother's name "Clifton L. Sutherland". There are no tears-- pages are clean and the binding is tight. An outstanding value if you consider its typical asking price, plus FREE SHIPPING and FREE USPS TRACKING. If you purchase more than one item, I'll be happy to combine shipments to save on postal fees. Thanks for looking and Good Luck!
