Incident at Muc Wa: A Story of the Vietnam War - Paperback

by Daniel Ford (Author)

This is the story that inspired the acclaimed Burt Lancaster movie, Go Tell the Spartans. The year is 1964--early days in South Vietnam--and the U.S. Army Raiders have garrisoned a town that the French abandoned ten years before. The Viet Cong attack, and the Americans reinforce. They're not about to repeat the mistakes of the French!

'Sad, bawdy, and compelling, ' wrote the Detroit Free Press. Prophetic, too, of how the larger war would end.
