On 30 Marc 1972 the North Vietnamese Army launched a major invasion of South Vietnam known as the Easter Offensive. Turley, then a US Marine lieutenant colonel on an introductory tour of bases, acted as a chief advisor to the 3rd ARVN Division during the invasion. Based on his experiences with the chain of command his account of the offensive serves as a study of the impact of variables in war- both human and nonhuman - on the eventual outcome. It is also a remarkable war memoir full of courage, action and heartbreak. Documented by personal interviews with combatants, official records, after-action reports, and North Vietnamese orders of battle, this account is told with authority and compassion. On the Marine Corps Commandant's professional reading list for many years, The Easter Offensive was a selection of the Military Book Club when first publish in hardcover. Seller Inventory # 200393
