Schreadley is a retired Navy commander and former executive editor of a newspaper. Filled with authoritative detail and firsthand immediacy, this book is the only single-volume history available of the U.S. Navy's twenty-five-year involvement in Vietnam. It examines naval air, surface, coastal, riverine, and special forces operations at every level. Based largely on interviews with participants and supported by official records, this account chronicles and analyzes all components of the navy's twenty-five year involvement in Vietnam. From the Rivers to the Sea: The U.S. Navy in Vietnam by Commander Richard L. Schreadley, U.S. Navy (Retired), is the first one-volume, comprehensive history of the U.S. Navy's multifaceted roles in the Vietnam War. Other works have concentrated on the so-called "brown-water navy" or on the air war over North Vietnam, but none have had the panoramic sweep and vivid detail of this important new book. It rings with the authenticity of documented research and personal insight, having been carefully conceived, cogently analytical, and beautifully written.
