Synopsis
The war in Vietnam was conducted in three distinct topographic settings: along the rugged Annamite mountains next to Laos and the DMZ; in the jungles of the central highlands; and, most alien of all, along the extensive network of rivers and canals stretching from the Cambodian border to the Ca Mau peninsula. The Perfect War is the story of the riverine warfare, where Vietcong and American supported counterinsurgency forces meet in a deadly struggle for control of the watery avenues. More than a tale of war, The Perfect War describes the experiences of American advisors who, isolated from their own countrymen, live within and ultimately adapt to the Vietnamese culture. Readers will find The Perfect War an intriguing addition to the genre of books about the Vietnam War.
