520 2 "In the tradition of We Were Soldiers Once...and Young, A
Noble Cause is a stirring tribute to the valor and courage
of the allied forces in the Vietnam War and a vivid re-
creation of hard-won battles from Ia Drang Valley to Khe
Sanh and Hamburger Hill... Celebrating the skill and
bravery of the United States armed forces and their South
Vietnamese allies, A Noble Cause presents a gripping
chronicle of both large and small unit successful combat
engagements, including the Battle of Dong Xoai (1965); the
Battle of Ia Drang Valley (1965), the first major ground
battle of the Vietnam War; the Battle of Loc Ninh (1967)
by the Cambodian border; the Battle of Khe Sanh (1967-
1968) leading up to the Tet Offensive; the Battle of Dong
Ha (1968); the bloody siege on Hamburger Hill (1969); and
the Battle of An Loc (1972), sixty-five miles north of
Saigon, which contributed to the failure of the Vietcong's
Eastertide Offensive. Documenting the invaluable role of a
tireless and determined infantry as well as air cavalry
divisions and B-52 'Arc Light' air strikes, A Noble Cause
chronicles the crucial strategic decisions that led to
victory--often against steep odds--and honors the bravery
of every soldier who stood his ground, faced the enemy,
and gave his all. Includes photos and and maps"--
