Description:

In 1972 a North Vietnamese offensive of more than 30,000 men raced to capture Saigon. All that stood in their way was a small band of 6,800 South Vietnamese (ARVN) soldiers and militiamen, and a handful of American advisors with U.S. air support, guarding An Loc. Thi believes that it is time to set the record straight and here tells the South Vietnamese side of the story.

Review Quotes:

In examining the ARVN's greatest victory in this meticulously researched and well written book, Thi's primary purpose was to restore the reputation of the ARVN as a competent fighting force, and in that goal he largely succeeds."--Military History of the West
