In 1965, the 8th Cavalry would again be ordered into combat.
This time, the 8th Cavalry and the 1st Cavalry Division would
return to their roots as a true cavalry unit. But instead of riding horses
into battle, the troopers of the 8th Cavalry would ride helicopters.
This book is a good read and well worth your time.
