About this product
Product Information
A detailed and richly illustrated, blow-by-blow account of the first major air-mobile operations up to that point, and the first major showdown between the US Army, the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army during the Vietnam War. In early October 1966, the fresh and inexperienced 196th Light Infantry Brigade of the US Army was conducting a series of routine patrols in War Zone C. A lucky discovery of a rice cache led to the uncovering of a planned base area being established by the Viet Cong insurgents of South Vietnam (NLF) southeast of Tay Ninh City. What followed was named Operation Attleboro. Unbeknownst to the US and ARVN forces the NLF 9th Division was preparing to attack the brigade in its base and two ARVN positions near Tay Ninh. American moves spoiled the planned attack and initiated a prolonged battle that at its height would pit four regiments of the NLF and People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) against 18 American and three ARVN battalions, supported by 24 artillery batteries and countless fixed wing and helicopter sorties, including 225 B-52 strikes. The battle would also draw in the 1st Infantry Division, the famed 'Big Red One' and the 25th Infantry Division. Both sides would claim victory but the 9th Division limped towards Cambodia. Attleboro was the largest American operation in the Vietnam War to date, the culmination of one year of bloody battles between the 9th Division and II Field Force Vietnam. It would be a test for the campaign that US General William Westmoreland had planned for 1967. It would be also a test of different tactical approaches to be used in Vietnam: an 'infantry-heavy' approach favoured by the commander of the 196th, General Edward H. De Saussure, and for firepower-intensive approach championed by the Commanding General of the 1st Infantry Division, General William DePuy. AUTHOR: Dr. Arrigo Velicogna is an academic, a conflict simulation designer and defence consultant specialised in military history, operations, and naval warfare. He earned a PhD in War Studies in King's College London in 2014 on the subject of the Vietnam War. He taught related subjects there and at Wolverhampton University, and worked for several British defence related organisations. Into the Iron Triangle is his first book for Helion. 90 photographs, 4 maps, 15 colour profiles
