A history of one of the least known and most misunderstood battles in the Vietnam War.
The strategic potential of the three-day attack of two North Vietnamese Army (NVA) regiments on Kham Duc, a remote and isolated Army Special Forces camp, on the eve of the first Paris peace talks in May 1968, was so significant that former President Lyndon Johnson included it in his memoirs. This gripping, original, eyewitness narrative and thoroughly researched analysis of a widely misinterpreted battle at the height of the Vietnam War radically contradicts all the other published accounts of it. In addition to the tactical details of the combat narrative, the authors consider the grand strategies and political contexts of the U.S. and North Vietnamese leaders.
Praise for
Bait: The Battle of Kham Duc
"This book is a must read for any Vietnam historian or veteran." -Patrick Brady, Major General, USA (ret.), Medal of Honor Recipient
"For an authentic, detailed view of how large battles between U.S. combined-arms forces and regularNorth Vietnamese Army forceswere fought in Vietnam in 1968,
Bait:The Battle of Kham Ducis required reading." -General H. Hugh Shelton, 14th Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
"This first-hand, exhaustively documented account of a large battle in the Vietnam War shows the decisive role of air power in all its forms." -Carl Schneider, Major General, USAF (ret.)
"One of those rare historical narratives that explains in rich detail a battle that was little understood or reported on at the time it was fought but was of strategic importance and heroic dimension." -
Marine Corps Gazette
"The account of the battle is both detailed and exceptionally well-written; McLeroy's participation in the battle adds authenticity to the narrative.... Highly recommended for anyone interested in how large-scale battles were fought in Vietnam at the height of U.S. commitment on the ground there." -
