This added challenges to an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> The stories in this book cover the Swift Boats\u2019 early years, which saw search-and-inspect operations in Vietnam\u2019s coastal waters, and their later years, when the Swift Boats&#8217; mission shifted to the Mekong Delta\u2019s labyrinth of three-thousand miles of rivers, streams, and canals. This is an intimate, exciting oral history of Swift Boats at war in Vietnam.    <\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B06VSRYLL1 <br \/> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Stackpole Books (June 14, 2023) <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 June 14, 2023 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 28187 KB <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Not Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 345 pages <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-medium\">\n<h3 class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the book outstanding, lively, and fun.
