...outside the camp when they came under heavy enemy attack and had to retreat. In a way, the entire northern edge of South Viet Nam has come under the same sort of siege. Allied strength is clustered in pockets of outposts or in major cities-from Khe Sanh, the western anchor, through the Rockpile, Camp Carroll and Con Thien to Quang Tri city, Hué and Danang. Few of the allied bases are accessible now except by air. Last week the North Vietnamese infiltrated a fresh division into South Viet Nam, bringing to 50,000 their troop concentration...

...Syrian colonel, the Israeli undercover agent and his trusty Damascan mistress all speak as if their lines had been written for them by-to pick an absurd example-a plonking Australian novelist named Morris West, author of The Shoes of the Fisherman. This is Eric Ambler territory, and no Western writer less accustomed to its rigors should go out in the Mideast...
