Mr Gitell published " Broken Promise" by RADIX Press about the Montagnyards. In this publication he sets out the causes and affects of the US involvement in Vietnam back in 1961.
His works should be required reading for all those Washington leaders of today that are faced with solving the problems of Iraq and what happens when the US becomes involved within the internal social and cultural problems of another country.
