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.
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.
