Taking the reader in the mountains and forests that the Americans
called 'Indian country,' Stevens presents the Viet Nam War as an
extension of the romantic myth of the American frontier. In seven
operations on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the reader enters an exotic,
exhilarating, terrifying world. Documented by military reports,
Steven's powerful and poetic prose and his complex examination of
the Viet Nam War elevate his Trail journey into the realm of myth.
