The Uncivil War by David Lee Corley

Can war be stopped before it begins?

A CIA pilot and his team risk everything to free military captives from a Hanoi prison and prevent an undercover agent from being revealed. But even the best plans can go awry...

Taking the fight to the sea, the Americans attempt to cut off the weapons and supplies flowing to the Viet Cong. Colonel Lansdale's paramilitary teams are up to their old tricks executing multiple raids and demoralizing the North.

With US-made weapons and American advisors to guide it, the South Vietnamese think they are invincible. Then comes Ap Bac...

A pivotable battle changes the growing conflict in Vietnam and forces President Kennedy to rethink America's involvement. A prophetic warning, it may be the last exit before an all-out war with US boots on the ground.

Like all the novels in the Airmen Series, The Uncivil War is full of action and suspense while being based on historical events and real people.
