The NVA in Laos: 1951-1973

Abstract

This paper is heavily dependent on four lengthy studies written by the author in 1974 during a tour of duty in Laos with Project 404, Defense Attache Office, Vientiane. The titles of the studies, which are reflected below, give an indication of the rather extensive coverage possible when the reports are considered together. They are: (1) NVA Participation in the War for North Laos: 1955-1973(U), (2) NVA Participation in the War for South Laos: 1962- 1973(U), (3) The Last Six Months of the 1972-1973 Plaine Des Jarres Compaign(U), and (4) The NVA 1972-1973 Bolovens Campaign(U). For background material, the Rand Corporation studies of Zasloff, Langer and Blaufarb (the work of the first two authors being available in book form), McCoy's The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, and Dommen's Laos: The Politics of Neutralization were used.
