1-235012

A year after the Paris peace accord had been signed, on 17 January 1973, peace had not been settled in Vietnam. The North Vietnamese continued their attacks and drastic American aid reduction began to impact heavily on the South Vietnamese ability to wage war. After the fall of Phuoc Long, and without US intervention, the North Vietnamese decided to attack the strategic Central Highlands area where they hoped to destroy the greater part of an ARVN Corps. The battle of Ban Me Thuout would be the pivotal event leading to the rapid collapse of South Vietnam. Includes 185 b/w photos, 39 color profiles, 4 color figures, 3 color maps, and 6 b/w maps.
