Summary of Tom Mangold's The Tunnels of Cu Chi

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Nam Thuan, the Communist party secretary of Phu My Hung village, was tasked with delaying any American advance on the village by luring the enemy into a fight. He would destroy them if possible, but if not, his diversionary battle would allow ample time for the village to be evacuated and the arms and guerrillas to be hidden.

#2 Thuan was about to be awarded another Victory Medal. He had already been awarded two Victory Medals, but he was still small by Vietnamese standards. He had never known peace in his land.

#3 Thuan was a commander of the part-time self-defense force in a village in Vietnam. He had fought a brave war, was cunning and ruthless, and knew the geography of all the eight miles of underground tunnels that the villagers had built.

#4 The tunnel soldiers had not thrown grenades, but they had fired their pistols in volleys to clear the tunnel ahead. The Americans had brought out their dead and wounded from Thuan’s attack. Three helicopters arrived to take the victims.
