Description
Experience the brutal and significant battle of the Vietnam War through the eyes of the men who fought it. In November 1965, 450 US soldiers were dropped into the Ia Drang Valley, where they faced off against 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. The ensuing three-day battle was one of the most savage and pivotal of the war.
General Hal Moore and journalist Joseph Galloway, who was the only journalist on the ground throughout the fighting, have interviewed hundreds of the men who fought in the Ia Drang Valley. Their accounts reveal the extraordinary resources that soldiers can summon in the darkest of hours, as well as the comradeship and self-sacrifice that defined the battle.
This spellbinding true portrait of warfare at its most visceral and desperate offers a rare glimpse into the human cost of war. It is a powerful and thought-provoking account that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who reads it.
