Thanks to the professional knowledge of general Harold Moore and the literary talent of journalist Joseph Galloway, the participants of this battle, tactical considerations, influence of politics upon strategy, peculiarities of using arms and other aspects of military arts become understandable, forming a coherent picture not only of a certain battle but also of the Vietnam war in general.
