Description

Something has changed, and not in a good way. For the first time, the communists are holding territory that they have captured near the borders of Laos and North Vietnam. It could be that the leaders in Hanoi want to secure supply and reinforcement routes into South Vietnam… or it could be something far more nefarious.

The communists' new strategy is an opportunity for the U.S. military and its allies to finally engage their enemy in a large-scale, set-piece battle that would allow American airpower and artillery to destroy a massive enemy force. It's tempting bait. Such a victory could bring the communists to the negotiating table and end the war. The clash between the two enemies would develop into The Border Battles, resulting in the fiercest fighting in the entire Vietnam War in the hills around Dak To.

But something doesn't feel right to Rene Granier and the CIA. Using the Phoenix program, Granier will try to discover the communists' real strategy before it's too late.
