This 180 page book also contains more than 130 historic and up to date illustrations of the trail, 11 maps and three appendices on the Supplementary History, The Truong Son Army and the History of Herbicide Spraying in Vietnam.

Bangkok: Orchid Press, Date: 2006. The Ho Chi Minh Trail was a decisive factor in the defeat of American forces in the Vietnam War. At the peak of its 16 years' operation, the Trail ran through North and South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Despite an estimated 4 million tons of US bombs, efforts to stop the transport of supplies to the North Vietnamese Army over the Trail failed, and by 1975 over a million tons of supplies and 2 million troops had traversed the Trail. The author and photographer, the first Westerners to traverse the entire length of the Trail, trace the footsteps of the hundreds of thousands who designed, built, used and fought along it. Interviewing villagers along the Trail, as well as key military and political figures on both sides of the conflict, including the mastermind of the trail, General Vo Nguyen Giap, they present a fascinating account of this most remarkable feat of engineering and tactical warfare of the Vietnam War era. 196 pp., 109 colour and 24 b&w illustrations, 11 maps, bibliography, index. A new/unread copy. . First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. 24.5 x 17.5 cm. 2006. Orchid Press ISBN 9745240761 9789745240766 [CA]
