Customer Reviews:
Well researched and yes detailed- so what?
By A Customer - June 3, 1999Lanning and Crasgg produces a well researched tome drawing on numerous NVA/VC prisioner/ defector interviews. The book is excelent and offers a salient reminder to the naivete of so many who still romanticize the VC/NVA as noble, black pajama clad part-time farmers.In fact they were very tough troops, living on a supply package incomprehensible to Western armies, and very well motivated. Fighting on their own home ground, amidst a friendly or intimidated local population, and with favorable terrain and relatively secure sanctuary areas,they were given, they were well equipped, well organized and skillful adversaries. They were also a murderous, vicious and ruthless force as the hail of well documented assasinations, terror bombings, and massacres they carried out shows - a reality too often forgotten by the naive or apologists for Communism.Some reviewer complained that: "Lanning does such a good job, that I think he overdoes it.

NOW THEY TELL ME!!!
By Joseph R. Calamia - June 30, 2009"Inside the VC and The NVA" by Michael Lee Lanning and Dan Cragg is a Texas A&M University Press publication. The book is obviously a product from Texas A&M' Vietnam studies and is a superb informational guide to all aspects of Vietnam, including it's history, it's climate, it's people, and...it's unique ability to wage war!
I just recently ordered the book and have not finished it. However, this book is not necessarily meant as a readable novel, or biographical sketch to be finished at one sitting. This book is more than that, it is... an astute collection of practical and knowledgeable facts to satisfy your curiosity while giving you "everything you wanted to know about the Vietnamese but, were afraid to ask."
This is a great research tool, and unlike most books of this nature, this is one you will enjoy reading! I only wish our Government would have made this book (or one like it), available to every one of us who got orders to Vietnam 40 years ago (now... read more
Decently objective book
By Double Dubs - May 16, 2012This was a rather good read and very insightful into the lives of the common Vietnames soldier both VC and NVA during the Vietnam war. For the most part it is unbias, unlike most books written by Vietnam veterans about the VC/NVA. There are instances where the author's bias for fighting on the "right" side show but these are to be expected and don't really detract from the book. Worth the read.
