In the fall of 1965, the North Vietnamese Army launched its first
major campaign against American forces, targeting, with 4,000 men,
the U.S. Special Forces camp at Plei Me in the Central Highlands,
where about a dozen green berets were training a few hundred South
Vietnamese troops. In response, the U.S. choppered in a relief
force of elite soldiers from Project Delta under legendary Chargin'
Charlie Beckwith and dropped an unprecedented million pounds of
munitions just yards from the camp's perimeter. The camp held out,
but operations in the area continued. Within weeks, the Battle of
Ia Drang broke out, the first major battle between the U.S. Army
and North Vietnamese regulars. Based on archival research and
interviews with veterans, Saliba covers the battle for Plei Me camp
in close, vivid, and very human detail. He also gives careful
attention to the strategic picture and shows how this clash laid
the groundwork for the Battle of Ia Drang.
