Phan Rang Chronicles: A British Surgeon in Vietnam, Sept., 1966 - May, 1968

In response to American appeals for physicians to help in Vietnam in 1966, Dr. Hamilton volunteered and was accepted. He kept a record of his experiences. His daily chronicle covers the main period of the war's escalation of military force on all sides - American, NLF, and NVA - allowing readers to experience a vivid sense of the tragic momentum with which the war drove itself toward the Tet Offensive of late January and February 1968.
