Operation Buffalo. USMC Fight for the DMZ. Author Keith Wm Nolan. ISBN 0-89141-417-7

This is written in a straight time line narrative, with very little commentary or analysis.

A two company sweep northeast of Con Thien commencing on 2 July 1967 turned into a two week long battle involving several battalions from various Marine Regiments mauling an NVA Regiment while taking over 150 USMC KIA. Recommended by a friend who was WIA during it.

There are several quotes and references to Capt. Richard O. Culver. A brief biography of Capt. Culver constitutes the last sentence in the final chapter.
