Then, in a domino pattern, the attacks moved southward through the coastal cities of Qui Nhon, Tuy Hoa and Nha Trang, leapfrogged over into the highland cities of Kontum and Pleiku and continued southward into the Delta?where some of the first attacks came only at week's end.

Not long ago the government captured an unprecedented 55 soldiers of the main force So Trang battalion, once one of the Viet Cong's finest. Among them was a boy of only 14, and the average age of the 55 was 17. They had been press-ganged into the Communist ranks only ten days before...
