Unheralded Victory is an important book dealing with one of the most difficult and controversial periods in American history. It is a perspective on the Vietnam War that has almost been totally eclipsed in the cacophony of "instant history" presented on television. In Unheralded Victory, American-born Australian author, Mark Woodruff presents a clear and compelling case detailing the overall tactical victory of the allied military over the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army throughout the war. Far from the commonly seen portrait of allied forces as dispirited, drug-ridden, and self-defeated, the author points to victory after victory by the allies. He shows the allied forces as well-trained, well-equipped, and generally well-led. Powerfully written and complete with maps, diagrams, and illustrations, Unheralded Victory is a book not to be missed by the thoughtful and serious reader.
