Аббревиатуры означают следующее: USAHEC — Центр наследия и образования Армии США в Карлайле, Пенсильвания; USMCA — Исторический архив Корпуса морской пехоты США в Куантико, Вирджиния; UKNA — Британский национальный архив; АИ — авторские интервью, включающие мои личные интервью с указанными людьми, а также интервью, проведенные моими русскими и китайскими помощниками; МП — интервью, проведенные в 2007 г. в Ханое Мерлом Приббеноу. Книга «Пленки Абрамса» представляет собой уникальный документальный источник, беспрецедентный в анналах военного дела, в котором собраны стенограммы совещаний, проведенных генералом Крейтоном Абрамсом в 1968–1972 гг., когда он возглавлял КОВПВ; Льюис Сорли только расшифровал оригиналы пленок, хранящиеся в Карлайле.

Библиография
О войне во Вьетнаме написано огромное количество литературы. Ниже я перечислил только те названия, которые оказали непосредственное влияние на данный труд, пусть даже очень скромное или, что бывало, негативное. Если я не включил какие-то известные книги, то не по причине неуважения к их авторам, а вследствие того, что они не имеют прямого отношения к моей работе. Все материалы на вьетнамском языке были переведены Мерлом Приббеноу, если не указано иное.
