Operation Hump, the first major battle between the U.S. Army and
the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces, took place November 5-9,
1965, in South Vietnam's War Zone D. Known as ""The Hump,"" it
would change the nature of the war, escalating it from a
hit-and-run guerrilla conflict to a bloody contest between
Communist main force units and American commands of battalion size
or larger. This memoir of an Operation Hump survivor begins with
sequence of events leading up to the battle, from the French defeat
at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Drawing on official Army documents and
the recollections of fellow combatants, the author not only
describes the battle in detail but explains the war's basis in
fabrications at the highest levels of the U.S. government. His
experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder after the war and
his eventual return to Vietnam in the 1990s are included.
