THE TYPHOON TRUCE, 1970: Three Days in Vietnam when Nature Intervened in the War

1-245170

Analyzes the 'typhoon truce' during the Vietnam War that caused the war to stop for three days in northern I Corps, the area bordering the demilitarized zone separating South Vietnam from the North. Super Typhoon Joan devastated all the coastal lowlands in I Corps and further up into North Vietnam. Less than a week later, Super Typhoon Kate hit the same area with renewed fury, leaving the entire countryside under water and the people there faced with both war and natural disaster at the same time. During an otherwise vicious war, saving life took precedence over bloody conflict. Contains 16 pages of photos.
