Abstract: "Unheralded Victory is the true, but rarely acknowledged, history of the defeat of the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army at the hands of the American and Allied troops from 1961 through 1973. It chronicles, in detail, the virtual annihilation of the Viet cong by the late 1960s. the book then recounts the first wholesale introduction of North Vietnamese Army troops onto the battlefield in 1964 and American's response--the landing of U.S. ground forces in early 1965. Battle by battle, from Ia Drang through Khe Sanh through the Linebacker Operations, Unheralded Victory presents a convincing and accurate picture of the American victory."--Publisher's description .
