This book is the third of four chronologically based volumes that form the Advice and Support subseries in the U.S. Army’s official history of the Vietnam War. This volume focuses on a brief, but critical, period between January 1964 and June 1965, when the apparent failure of U.S. nation-building activities led to the United States to undertake a full-scale military intervention against Communist-led forces that seemed to be on the verge of destroying the nascent Republic of Vietnam.
