Invasion of Laos, 1971 - Lam Son 719

Author Robert Sander, a helicopter pilot in Lam Son 719, explores why an operation of such importance failed. Drawing on archives and interviews, firsthand testimony and reports, Sander chronicles not only the planning and execution of the operation, but also the maneuvers of the bastions of political and military power during the ten-year effort to end Communist infiltration of South Vietnam leading up to Lam Son 719.
