This book won't please those who have come to believe that wars are won and casualties limited through technology, or that the victor's version of one is always correct. But, all U.S. security personnel should read it. Possibly the West's best treatise on Oriental warfare, it sheds new light on what Asian infantry can do: (1) alternate between guerrilla, mobile, and positional warfare; (2) use "ordinary forces" to engage and "extraordinary forces" to defeat; and then (3) retreat to save lives. What occurred in history doesn't change, but one's perception of it does -- as he better understands his former foe. Here's what really happened at Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, and Hue City. Through the way the NVA held their own without resupply, tanks, artillery, or air power, U.S. grunts could better survive the 21st Century's more lethal weaponry.
