<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Operation Dewey Canyon, was an overwhelming victory by the 9th Marine Regiment and supporting units against the communist North Vietnamese in early 1969. It was fought by the 9th Marine Regiment, more often than not under-strength and under-supplied. Yet the Marines prevailed, until betrayed by their own government!<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>If Operation Dewey Canyon, fought in the northern I Corps area of South Vietnam and Laos in early 1969, was defined in relation to World War II Marine Corps battles in the Pacific, it would include the isolation of Guadalcanal, the miserable terrain, weather and vegetation of Bougainville, an entrenched enemy similar to Peleliu, and the strategic importance of Iwo Jima.</p><p>Most WWII Marine battles were fought by division-sized forces that often outnumbered the enemy. Dewey Canyon was fought by the 9<sup>th</sup> Marine Regiment, consisting of the 1<sup>st</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> Battalions. These battalions were more often than not under-strength and undersupplied. Even when augmented by air power, and the artillery of the 2<sup>nd</sup> Battalion, 12<sup>th</sup> Marines, the Marines who fought in Dewey Canyon numbered only a fraction of the Marine forces that fought enemy units in previous wars.</p><p>Yet, they prevailed.</p>
