Vietnam War
Vietnam 1972: Quang Tri
The Easter Offensive Strikes the South Melson. By early 1972, South Vietnamese forces had begun to assume greater military responsibility for defense against the North, and U.S. troops were well into their drawdown. When North Vietnam launched its massive Easter Offensive against the South in late March 1972, its scale and ferocity caught the U.S. high command off balance. Based on primary sources and published accounts of those who played a direct role in the events, this book provides a highly detailed analysis of this key moment in the Vietnam conflict. 96 pages, 7¼"x 9¾", softcover. #111902 $19.95
