      The Pleiku campaign of October-November 1965 was a major event in the Vietnam War, involving the first substantial battles between the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and the US Army. Playing a major role in this campaign was the US 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), a new type of formation equipped with a large fleet of helicopters. In the wake of the PAVN siege of the Special Forces camp at Plei Me, the division was tasked with pursuing the retreating Communists. The resultant clashes at landing zones X-Ray and Albany between the PAVN troops based in the Chu Pong Massif and the 1st Cavalry have become iconic, and are superbly documented here using detailed maps, specially commissioned bird's-eye-views, period photographs, and vivid battlescenes. -- Back cover
