Vietnam - Krieg ohne Fronten

"We will raze this goddamn country to the ground," said Richard Nixon, drumming on the table on June 2, 1971. He is talking about the small country of Vietnam, where the United States has been in a grueling erosion war since 1964. It is the era of the Cold War and, according to official doctrine, the GI's in the distant jungles and swamps defend an outpost of the free world in Southeast Asia, and they must stop the advance of communism at any cost.
