Corps Competency?: III Marine Amphibious Force Headquarters in Vietnam
By Michael F. Morris · 348 pages
Why this title matters
A retired Marine colonel's rigorous assessment of III MAF leadership in I Corps from 1965 to 1970, arguing that the senior Marine headquarters was not prepared to fight a sustained hybrid war and failed to translate tactical success into strategic outcomes. An unflinching case study in what happens when a corps headquarters fights the war it wants rather than the one it must.
