This is actually an awesome book that traces the history of militaries employing drugs for warfare across history. Highly recommend it.

Found after about ten seconds on google. I've heard stories from family who served in vietnam about how they would get "daily supplements" that were rumored to be stimulants, however I have no way to confirm that. Took a peek on wikipedia and apparently amphetamines were used by pilots and special units on both sides of World War 2. American F-16 pilots in the Persian Gulf war used them too.
