The First Fight is the second title in a series dedicated to the Marine Corps' involvement in Southeast Asia from the early 1960s until 1975. This commemorative publication focuses on Operation Starlite, the first significant engagement between Marines and the Viet Cong with regimental-sized forces. It lasted from 18 to 24 August 1965, and in many ways foreshadowed the experience of American forces in Vietnam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rod Andrew Jr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1539775933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781539775935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.14d","brand":"Rod Andrew Jr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124696150271,"sku":"9781539775935","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a400396-5414-4665-a040-545ac3a67145.jpg?v=1687438304","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-first-fight-us-marines-rod-andrew-jr-9781539775935","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
