Letters From LONG BINH
"Memories of a Military Policeman in Vietnam"

The story line of the book is based on the letters I wrote home to my wife during my tour of duty in Vietnam with the 615th MP Company, 720th MP Battalion in 1967. Randy Mixter randym246@comcast.net

Review: "Letters from Long Binh gives the reader an honest appraisal of the everyday life of an MP in Vietnam. Sometimes poignant,sometimes humorous, but always gripping, the book is written with a deep sense of respect for his fellow brothers-in-arms in a war-torn country.” Lou Fantauzzi - 615th MP Company,Vietnam 1966-67

Warrior Police
"Rolling With America's Military Police In The World's Trouble Spots"

For the first time ever, an explosive inside look at modern Military Police units and their role in defending our freedom

I love reading military history, especially books in which the former commanders dare to step out from behind the shadows of the scrubbed politically correct official headquarters summaries to reveal the true dirt and grit faced by their troops in war. This book meets that requirement. It includes interesting insight from then Colonel David Phillips, Commander of the 89th MP Brigade, and former commander of the 720th (1998-2000), as to the political as well as tactical decisions being made that affected the American soldiers and MPs (including the 720th) during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Historically astute MP veterans of the Vietnam era will see that the more things change, the more they remain the same. Thomas T. Watson, B Company, 720th MP Battalion, 89th MP Group, 18th MP Brigade, Vietnam, 1968-1969.

Combat Police
"U.S. Army Military Police in Vietnam"

A systematic analysis of the organization and operations of the military police committed to combat in the Vietnam War. The book contains extensive Tables of Organization and Equipment, Orders of Battle, maps, and detailed tables of unit locations, strengths, and operational commitments. There are also a handful of personal accounts which provide an individual military policeman's foxhole perspective, as well as actual articles from the Round-Up, an official newspaper of the military police serving in Vietnam. These articles provide insight into how the military police viewed itself in its efforts towards winning the war with no strategy.
