The Perfect War

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.
