| 內容簡介: |
On April 10, 1970, Hill 927 was occupied by troopers of the
Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division. By July, the
activities of the artillery and infantry of Ripcord had caught the
attention of the NVA North Vietnamese Army and a long and deadly
siege ensued. Ripcord was the Screaming Eagles’ last chance to do
significant damage to the NVA in the A Shau Valley before the
division was withdrawn from Vietnam and returned to the United
States.
At Ripcord, the enemy counterattacked with ferocity, using mortar
and antiaircraft fire to inflict heavy causalities on the units
operating there. The battle lasted four and a half months and
exemplified the ultimate frustration of the Vietnam War: the
inability of the American military to bring to bear its enormous
resources to win on the battlefield. In the end, the 101st
evacuated Ripcord, leaving the NVA in control of the battlefield.
Contrary to the mantra “We won every battle but lost the war,” the
United States was defeated at Ripcord. Now, at last, the full story
of this terrible battle can be told.
