0.0

This book is a brief account of thecourse of the war that took place in Vietnam between 1945 and 1973. It was the type of struggle that gained prominence in the 20th Century and is usually referred to as Guerrilla Warfare. The author has endeavoured to narrate the main events in a chronological sequence, which at times has meant flitting from subject and from battle-field to battle-field before the fight was over. This was a war that aroused conflicting emotions, and propaganda played a large part n both sides. The author has tried to divorce himself from emotion to tell the story as it really happened. A frank and honest account of the wars in Vietnam by a distinguished author.
