VIET CONG - Special Edition: Charlie and his deadly tricks

By Rainer Salzger

Invisible, Insidious, Deadly: Viet Cong Booby Traps in the Vietnam War Where the Viet Cong - often simply called "Charlie" by American forces - was hopelessly outmatched by US military power, they compensated with a relentless and extensive use of improvised traps. With devastating success. These invisible, often primitive, but extremely effective contraptions claimed countless casualties and were a decisive pillar of Vietnamese guerrilla warfare. This book plunges deep into the treacherous world of these "deadly tricks." It reveals the construction and functionality of the deathtraps that tormented America's soldiers: The infamous Punji traps: Simple pits lined with sharpened stakes, designed to inflict horrific foot wounds, often enhanced by the use of feces or poison to guarantee infection. Primitive, yet lethal tripwires: Strung deceptively low along jungle trails and through dense undergrowth, triggering hidden arrows, whipping bamboo spears, or vicious barbed swinging snares. Other improvised explosive and non-explosive devices: Cleverly hidden charges and mechanical traps that transformed the seemingly safe jungle paths into a deadly, unpredictable minefield. Each of these chapters offers a stark lesson in low-tech, incredibly effective, and deadly self-defense and terrain control under the most extreme conditions. A Must-Read for Every Prepper and Survivalist: Understanding how such traps are built, how they operate, and their devastating impact isn't just fascinating military history. It's vital survival knowledge. In a world where mastering terrain and the ability to protect yourself against unseen threats is becoming increasingly crucial, this book provides invaluable insights.
