By the end of the 1971, the Vietnam War had raged for eight years without either side gaining a decisive advantage, and the Paris peace talks were achieving little if anything.
The United States was withdrawing it’s own ground forces in South Vietnam at this point, while trying to train, strengthen and equip the South Vietnamese Army.
If ever North Vietnam was going to invade South Vietnam, it would have to be before the South got too strong.
On March 30, 1972, North Vietnamese forces invaded South Vietnam, making considerable gains, it was now only a matter of time for the South.
Well-written and illustrated, this book brings a crucial event in the Vietnam War to vivid life.

The book, which tells of an extremely documented war, with numerous iconic photos, does it through mostly unpublished or rare photos, even if for Hue and Khe Sanh this is very difficult. The result is that of telling the war effort of the Marines in a book that will not be missing on the shelves of people interested in this war, unpopular and tragic, which was the Vietnam War.

On The Old Barbed Wire
The author looks at both the history of the Vietnam War, its background and the many factions and organisations involved, as well as the the aircraft and disappearance itself. His uncle was lost on board the plane, so he has done a lot of research into the events and made numerous enquiries to find out what happened.
The book looks in detail at the Boeing 307 Stratoliner and the histories of all ten aircraft, and even includes a chapter on an unusual visit to a clairvoyant!
