Bird: The Christmastide Battle, by S.L.A. Marshall, tells the story of the North Vietnamese Army attack on Landing Zone Bird shortly after midnight, 26-27 December 1966. The NVA plan had been to overrun the American outpost, wipe out the Americans and destroy LZ Bird's howitzer batteries, and retreat into the jungle just as the negotiated Christmas Truce came into effect. The NVA force arrived in the vicinity late because of high water in the country roundabout, but their assault was launched anyway, regardless of the truce having started. (This over-nice Communist timing reminds me of the Japanese still negotiating peace in Washington, D.C., while their naval task force began attacking Pearl Harbor.)
