An Loc 1972

An Loc, 1972 captures the action of the gripping, but little known, action which extended the life South Vietnam as an independent nation. North Vietnam launched the massive “Easter Offensive,” expecting to roll all the way to Saigon. But first, the provincial capital of An Loc had to be captured. With large quantities of armored vehicles and artillery, and 3-1 odds in infantry, it should not have been a lengthy battle. But heavy air support stretched the action into a 66 day siege, which might be considered the ARVN’s last victory.
