This book is a unique source of information about U.S. troop
involvement in South Vietnam from 1965 to 1972. It stresses that
Vietnam was a war without fronts or battle lines-a war different
from any that the United States had previously fought.

In 1985 Thomas C. Thayer's War Without Fronts offered a wealth of
data and analysis on U.S. military operations in the Vietnam War
and provided a fresh and provocative take on the infamous conflict.
When first published, reviewers agreed it was an invaluable text;
Vietnam War historians still cite Thayer in modern studies. Long
out-of-print, this new edition should facilitate the ongoing
conversation about how the American war in Vietnam continues to
serve as a comparison for more recent U.S. overseas military
campaigns. Thomas Thayer worked as a systems analyst for the Office
of the Secretary of Defense during the late 1960s and early 1970s,
compiling data to better understand the war and find trends that
might help improve U.S. civil and military operations. His work
thus offers an insider's view of American military strategy during
the Vietnam War and of how military operations affected the
Vietnamese people.
