Decent read for history buffs

I am currently jumping between a few books, of which one is 'The Lost Battalion of Tet' by Charles A. Krohn. The book is Captain Krohn's account of the 2/12 Cavalries attack on a largely outnumbering North Vietnamese force; An attack which resulted in massive amounts of casualties (65% Casualties according to the author). At times the reading is a bit confusing, slow, and even frustrating, however the content of the book makes up for it.
