In 1967-68, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) was on the front
line of the defence of South Vietnam's Quang Tri province, which
was at the very heart of the Vietnam conflict. Facing them were the
soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), men whose organization
and equipment made them a very different opponent from the famous,
irregular Viet Cong forces. From the 'Hill Battles' in April 1967
to the struggle for the city of Hue (January-March 1968) this
bloody campaign forced the two sides into a gruelling trial of
strength. The USMC held a general technological and logistical
advantage - including close air support and airborne transport,
technology, and supplies - but could not always utilize these
resources effectively in mountainous, jungle, or urban environments
better known by their Vietnamese opponents. In this arresting
account of small-unit combat, David R. Higgins steps into the
tropical terrain of Vietnam to assess the performance and
experience of USMC and NVA forces in three savage battles that
stretched both sides to the limit.
