BAIT: The Battle of Kham Duc

2-235600

Softcover version. The strategic potential of the three-day attack of two NVA regiments on Kham Duc, a remote and isolated Army Special Forces camp, on the eve of the first Paris peace talks in May 1968, was so significant that former President Lyndon Johnson included it in his memoirs. This eyewitness narrative and analysis of a widely misinterpreted battle at the height of the Vietnam War radically contradicts all the other published accounts. Covers the tactical details of the combat narrative, and grand strategies and political contexts of the U.S. and North Vietnamese leaders.
