The Ba Nha Incident: A Viet Nam War Novel

By David Allin

It was supposed to be a simple mission--provide security for a Phoenix Program team while they arrested a communist politician in the isolated village of Ba Nha, deep in the Boi Loi Woods. Mechanized Infantry platoon leader Steve Carr and his platoon sergeant, Aaron Samples, were suspicious of the enigmatic Phoenix team leader, Mister Bates, and his two South Vietnamese minions, so Carr requested the assistance of Specialist Tom Daley, a Vietnamese linguist they had encountered during a rescue mission to the Parrot's Beak, along with his Kit Carson Scout, Nguyen Van Ky. The patrol had problems from the beginning, and conflict between the infantry platoon and Bates escalated when the Phoenix men began abusing the civilians. The mistrust had to be set side, however, when they were all attacked by snipers and female Viet Cong, and they discovered a VC tunnel complex. It turned out to be a long, dreadfully deadly day.
