Summary : At the height of the Vietnam conflict, a complex system of secret underground tunnels sprawled from Cu Chi Province to the edge of Saigon. In these burrows, the Viet Cong cached their weapons, tended their wounded, and prepared to strike. They had only one enemy: U.S. soldiers small and wiry enough to maneuver through the guerrillas’ narrow domain. The brave souls who descended into these hellholes were known as “tunnel rats.” Armed with only pistols and K-bar knives, these men inched their way through the steamy darkness where any number of horrors could be awaiting them–bullets, booby traps, a tossed grenade. Using firsthand accounts from men and women on both sides who fought and killed in these underground battles, authors Tom Mangold and John Penycate provide a gripping inside look at this fearsome combat. The Tunnels of Cu Chi is a war classic of unbearable tension and unforgettable heroes. Praise for The Tunnels of Cu Chi “A claustrophobic but fascinating tale.”—The Wall Street Journal “Chilling . . . what war really was and how it was fought.”—The New York Times “Gripping . . . highly recommended.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer “Remarkable.”—The Washington Post

Summary : Beneath the dense, bomb-scarred jungles of Vietnam lay an invisible, multi-level fortress stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Facing the overwhelming aerial and technological superiority of the American military, the Viet Cong could not survive a conventional surface war. Their solution was to completely reinvent the spatial geometry of the battlefield. They moved entire armies, hospitals, and supply chains underground into the Cu Chi tunnel network. This sprawling subterranean architecture required incredible survival engineering. To prevent flooding during the monsoon season, the tunnels were carved into specialized layers. To survive chemical warfare, builders engineered ingenious U-shaped ventilation shafts that trapped heavier-than-air poison gas before it could reach the living quarters. This historical deep-dive dissects the astonishing architectural resilience of the tunnels. You will explore the brutal mechanics of the bamboo booby traps, the psychological terror inflicted on the American "tunnel rats," and the grueling logistics of surviving for months in total subterranean darkness. Descend into the ultimate theater of asymmetric warfare. Discover how mud, clay, and unparalleled architectural resilience neutralized the most advanced military machine of the twentieth century.

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 .
