1986réf. 62715New York: Vanguard Press 1986. First Edition. First Printing. 8vo. 22cm x 15cm. Publisher's black cloth spine over paper covered boards. Dustjacket. Titled in gilt to spine clean and bright in an equally bright pictorial dustjacket. A fine copy. 250pp. Internally clean. Inscribed by the author to the front flyleaf: "To Phyllis Oct 21st 1986 Ron Martin" A pretty taut and skilful novel of a soldier determined to escape from the horrors of a VC prison camp written by a marine who served in South East Asia as a direct response to the negative treatment delivered to returning US military personnel. Rather more complex than the general run of novels on this theme dealing heavily with the trauma and psychological damage caused not only by incarceration but by a hostile alienating homecoming.

Unpaginated by 32 pages plus covers. Decorative cover.with some color. Illustrations Maps color. This contemporary propaganda material is ephemeral and relatively few copies have survived in private hands in the more than four decades since it was published. From Wikipedia: "South Vietnam officially the Republic of Vietnam was a state which governed southern Vietnam until 1975. It received international recognition in 1949 as the "State of Vietnam" 1949-55 and later as the "Republic of Vietnam" 1955-75. The term "South Vietnam" became common usage in 1954. South Vietnam's origins can be traced to the French colony of Cochinchina a subdivision of French Indochina. After World War II the Vietminh led by Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the establishment of a Communist nation in Hanoi. In 1949 non-communist Vietnamese politicians formed a rival government in Saigon led by former emperor Bao Dai. Bao Dai was deposed by Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem in 1955 who proclaimed himself president after a referendum. After Diem was deposed in a military coup in 1963 there was a series of military governments. General Nguyen Van Thieu led the country from 1967 until 1975. The Vietnam War began in 1959 with an uprising by Viet Cong forces. Fighting climaxed during the Tet Offensive of 1968 when there were over 1.5 million South Vietnamese soldiers and 500000 U.S. soldiers in South Vietnam. Despite a peace treaty concluded in January 1973 fighting continued until the North Vietnamese army overran Saigon on 30 April 1975." This document from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was aimed as the English-speaking audience was was aimed at rallying support against the North Vietnamese onslaught. Had it not been for the U.S. Air Force and Navy the Vietnam War might have ended in the spring of 1972 with North Vietnamese tanks in the streets of Saigon. On March 29 1972 fourteen North Vietnamese divisions backed by more than three hundred tanks crossed the Demilitarized Zone into South Vietnam. It was an assault every bit as ferocious as the Tet Offensive in 1969 and perhaps even more so: where Tet had been an uprising by Viet Cong guerrillas backed by regular North Vietnamese troops the Easter Offensive of 1972 was a blitzkrieg a conventional mechanized assault by troops well-equipped with armor artillery and antiaircraft weapons. Several North Vietnamese Army or NVA divisions crossed the DMZ into the northern tip of South Vietnam. Other forces struck from their bases in ostensibly neutral Cambodia into the southwest part of South Vietnam perilously close to Saigon. Unlike Tet the South Vietnamese army or ARVN would not have U.S. ground troops fighting beside them or instead of them. American advisers could assist the South Vietnamese but with America in the midst of withdrawing its ground troops and the American public tired of casualties ground combat units would not be committed to the battlefield. The ARVN would have to fight its own battle. The key northern border town of Quang Tri fell and the NVA advanced to the gates to the vital city of Hue. The ARVN and South Vietnam were in trouble. Then salvation came from the skies. Airpower had always been a key factor—actually the key factor—factor in America's favor during the war in Indochina. But this time it was the only politically feasible means by which the United States could aid South Vietnam in 1972. By that time the American air fleet in Southeast Asia had dwindled to about eight hundred combat aircraft in Vietnam and Thailand including two U.S. Navy carrier air wings. Illustrating the flexibility of airpower by the end of May an additional four hundred Air Force fighters had arrived plus four more carriers. Most significantly the aerial armada included more than two hundred B-52s. Ministry of Foreign Affairs paperback
