This book, written by James *Lyles, 

* a NCO with 4 Tours of duty and first hand experience in convoy operations and a former Vietnam Gun Truck commander, 

is an authoritative reference on a number of special hybrid vehicles called Vietnam gun trucks and the extraordinary crews who manned them. 

During their 5 year history from late 1967 thru late 1972, Vietnam gun trucks were without a doubt the most important wheeled vehicles to see duty in Vietnam. They were mainly used for convoy security and installation perimeter defense, but were also used in other roles. It was originally thought that only 150 of these vehicles existed but this book now includes a list of 563 gun truck names and over 200 rare, previously unpublished photos . This book lists 563 Gun Truck names with all available details. This book brings over 200 previously unpublished photos of Gun Trucks, patches, veterans, etc.. Most of them in COLOR. Unusual Gun Trucks such as Wooden Armor Gun Trucks, M37's, Jeeps, Quad 50's and other special constructed trucks are illustrated in this book as well as Deuces and 5-Tons. James Lyles collected a fresh batch of veteran stories for this book so there is no repetition and no disappointment. This book is the REAL DEAL! The author is a Gun Truck and was there in the day, the story contributing veterans were there, and the pictures were supplied by the veterans who manned the Gn Trucks 67 to 72. It doesn't get anymore real than this. The author and veterans who contributed to this book, contributed thier blood, sweat and tears 40+ years ago and are sharing it with you now. Whether you are reading this book for personal memories, or history, or studying the pictures to build a model, this is the REAL DEAL that you shouldn't miss, and you won't be able to put down.
