Description:
This stunning new book tells the complete story of the last military contest of the Vietnam War. Ranging from fierce firefights on a Cambodian island to a surreal black-tie dinner in the White House, the entire story about the hijacking of the U.S. merchant ship, S.S. Mayaguez, untold until now, is revealed in a riveting narrative of combat, courage, and governmental blunders that serves as a metaphor of the entire war.-Jacket.
