A War Not Won: A tribute to the men of the Army Combat Engineers who courageously served their country during the unpopular Vietnam War.
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.

U.S.A. is still the World’s No. 1
By Elvis Newman
About the Book
America’s strength as the superpower extraordinaire came from conquering the impossible things, especially those things that, throughout man’s history, have been thought of as absolutely impossible, and perhaps pertaining only to the realms of fantasy. Soaring through the sky effortlessly, invention of the ultimate weapon, and unlocking of nature and life’s Enigma Code are three such monumental milestones of mankind’s biggest successes. These are all the results of American painstaking efforts, admirable ingenuity, and undaunting quests for the unchartered waters. Before these famous successes, there were in fact uncountable epic failures.
