About this listen

JFK is losing the war before it even starts. Something has to be done…

The South Vietnamese are turning against their own government. Protests are daily events. Even the military is questioning its orders to put down the civilian demonstrations. With the ever-increasing rise of violent factions, it seems Diem is the only leader that can hold South Vietnam together. But even he goes too far when he attacks the temples and imprisons the Buddhist monks and their followers. Saigon is about to explode.

The Viet Cong take advantage of the chaos seizing more territory and villages. Their ranks are growing. It seems nothing can stop them from overrunning the South.

The AP’s Malcolm Browne photographs a monk burning himself to death as a form of protest. On the front page of every newspaper, the world is shocked. JFK and his advisors are sickened by the images. The time for patience is over. Kennedy wants action.

The solution is Lucien Conein an erratic CIA officer with connections to the Saigon underworld and the ARVN military leaders. Given a suitcase filled with US dollars for bribes and ordered to solve the problem, Conein is unleashed.

Like all the novels in the Airmen Series, Cry Havoc is based on historical events and real people. A fast-paced narrative of how and why America entered the Vietnam War. Fiction Genre Fiction Military Vietnam War War & Military Wars & Conflicts War

I enjoyed listening to Cry Havoc (Book No. 13) even more than reading and/or listening to the preceeding books in David Lee Corley's Airmen series. As with the other books in the series, the story is well researched and the author skillfully ties together historical events of 'the big picture' with the more personal stories of the main characters. The ever-corrupt activities of the Diem regime and the coup that toppled their grip on Viet Nam were well documented and written in a manner that keeps the listener fully engaged. The computerized narration is much better than expeceted, with the exception of a few Vietnamese geographical names. Example: Hue city was repeatedly pronounced "Hew" instead if "Way". Other than that, great audio book!
