A Noble Cause: American Battlefield Victories In Vietnam
Douglas Niles
In the tradition of
We Were Soldiers Once … and Young, A Noble Cause
is a stirring tribute to the valor and courage of the allied forces in the Vietnam War and a vivid re-creation of hard-won battles from Ia Drang Valley to Khe Sanh and Hamburger Hill …
Celebrating the skill and bravery of the United States armed forces and their South Vietnamese allies,
A Noble Cause
presents a gripping chronicle of both large - and small-unit successful combat engagements, including the the Battle of Ia Drang Valley (1965), the first major ground battle of the Vietnam War; the Battle of Loc Ninh (1967) by the Cambodian border; the Battle of Khe Sanh (1967 -
1968) leading up to the Tet Offensive; the Battle of Dong Ha (1968); the bloody siege on Hamburger Hill (1969);
and the Battle of An Loc (1972), sixty-five miles north of Saigon, which contributed to the failure of the Vietcong’s Eastertide Offensive.
Documenting the invaluable role of a tireless and determined infantry as well as air cavalry divisions and B-52 ‘Arc Light’ air strikes,
A Noble Cause
chronicles the crucial strategic decisions that led to victory -
often against steep odds -
and honors the bravery of every soldier who stood his ground, faced the enemy, and gave his all.
‘It’s time we recognized that ours was, in truth, a noble cause.’
Ronald Reagan
