«The Tunnels of Cu Chi» is the historical essay by Tom Mangold and John Penycate, published by Hodder & Stoughton in hardcover (292 pages, in English).
It reconstructs the network of tunnels that the Viet Cong built around Saigon during the Vietnam War: an underground labyrinth with chambers and hiding places that US infantry tried to neutralize with the «tunnel rats». It narrates the campaign from both sides, with their ingenuity and harshness, and describes a singular operation of the conflict.
Published in London in 1985, the work contains 39 black-and-white photographs, 5 maps, bibliographic references and an index.
For readers of military history and the Vietnam War, with an interest in infantry operations and underground warfare.
Thomas Cornelius Mangold is a British broadcaster, journalist and author. For 26 years he was an investigative journalist with the BBC Panorama current affairs television programme.
