On 30 March 1972, While Peace Negotiations Had Been Dragging On For Four Years In Paris, The North Vietnamese Launched A Wide Scale Offensive In Order To Break The Stalemate. At That Date, Practically No American Ground Forces Remained In South Vietnam Where A Limited Offensive Was Expected In The Central Highlands Area. But Nobody Imagined The Magnitude Of The Multidivisional, Armor Led Onslaught. The Blow Fell First Across The Demilitarized Zone (Dmz) Separating The North From South Vietnam (See Volume 1). Following From The Initial Attack, In A Surprise Move, Three Communist Divisions With T54 Tanks Attacked From Their Sanctuaries In Cambodia Just North Of Saigon. Their Tanks Ventured Into The Streets Of An Loc City Where They Were Checked By A Desperate And Heroic Stand By The South Vietnamese Soldiers And Their American Advisers, Thus Saving The Capital Of South Vietnam.Finally, The Third Prong Of The North Vietnamese Offensive Swept Across The Northern Central Highlands, Destroying A Whole South Vietnamese Division. The Communists Then Resumed Their Advance, But Their Tanks Were Again Entangled In Street Fighting, This Time Inside Kontum City. Furthermore, They Were Harassed By Newly Developed Helicopter Gun Ships Armed With Antitank Missiles. This Volume Not Only Details The Combat Taking Place In These Two Areas But Also The Organization Of Both The Army Of The Republic Of Vietnam (Arvn) In The South And The Peoples Army Of Vietnam (Pavn) In The North.
