在越南衝突最激烈的時期，一個複雜的秘密地下隧道系統從古芝省蔓延到西貢邊緣。在這些洞穴中，越共藏匿了他們的武器，照料了他們的傷員，並準備發動攻擊。他們只有一個敵人：美國士兵小而結實，足以在游擊隊狹窄的領土上機動。

落入這些地獄之洞的勇敢靈魂被稱為“隧道鼠”。這些人只帶著手槍和 K-bar 刀，慢慢地穿過潮濕的黑暗，那裡可能有許多恐怖的東西在等著他們——子彈、誘殺裝置、投擲的手榴彈。作者 Tom Mangold 和 John Penycate 使用雙方在這些地下戰鬥中戰鬥和死亡的男女的第一手資料，對這場可怕的戰鬥提供了一個扣人心弦的內部視角。《古芝地道》是一部講述難以忍受的緊張局勢和令人難忘的英雄的戰爭經典。

The Tunnels of Cu Chi: A Harrowing Account of America's Tunnel Rats in the Underground Battlefields of Vietnam

At the height of the Vietnam conflict, a complex system of secret underground tunnels sprawled from Cu Chi Province to the edge of Saigon. In these burrows, the Viet Cong cached their weapons, tended their wounded, and prepared to strike. They had only one enemy: U.S. soldiers small and wiry enough to maneuver through the guerrillas’ narrow domain.

The brave souls who descended into these hellholes were known as “tunnel rats.” Armed with only pistols and K-bar knives, these men inched their way through the steamy darkness where any number of horrors could be awaiting them–bullets, booby traps, a tossed grenade. Using firsthand accounts from men and women on both sides who fought and killed in these underground battles, authors Tom Mangold and John Penycate provide a gripping inside look at this fearsome combat. The Tunnels of Cu Chiis a war classic of unbearable tension and unforgettable heroes.
