When War Dawns - David Lee Corley

Descriere When War Dawns - David Lee Corley

\nHow far will America go to win the Vietnam War? \nTorn by terrible loss, an American pilot finds distraction when he develops a new weapon that could change the war in Vietnam. As it appears in the night sky, the terrified Viet Cong call it dragon. Will it be enough or is it already too late? \nAfter enemy torpedo boats attack the US Destroyer Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin, President Johnson decides to expand the war and bomb North Vietnam. When a second attack occurs, the US Congress gives the president the power to declare all-out war against the communists. But are the attacks real or just smoke and mirrors? \nUnder the direction of the CIA, the secret war in Laos gains momentum as Montagnard tribesmen and SOG teams fight to cut off the Ho Chi Minh Trail and deny the Viet Cong and NVA the weapons and supplies they need to win the war in South Vietnam. Using an odd mix of older warplanes and modern jet fighters, Operation Barrel Roll brings American airpower to the struggle in the Laotian mountains. \nAs the Laotian military loses control over The Plain of Jars to the Pathet Lao, the CIA turns a blind eye when an American pilot is coerced into transporting opium grown by the hill tribes as their only source of income. Run by the Corsican mob in Saigon, it's a treacherous tangle of deceit that will cost thousands of American lives. \nLike all the books in the airmen series, When War Dawns is based on historical events and real people. It's full of military action and suspense. War has arrived and it seems like nothing can stop it. \n \n\n
