A pictorial coverage of the China-Vietnam War, February 1979 to March 1979, to punish Vietnam for its invasion of Kampuchea (Cambodia). Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) ground forces invaded Vietnam's border provinces and briefly held several towns and cities there before withdrawing.
-
Detailed photo coverage of the Chinese PLA in combat, mostly in black-and-white but large-scale print, and some few in color.
-
Charts of the war's battlefields and their opposing units.
- Chronology of the war.
The book has a propaganda slant, natural as it may be. Much of the photos, charts, and text etc are undated, unattributed, and generalized, Its particular interest to a reader is for illustrating the PLA in combat -- armed, uniformed, and equipped much as it had been in the 1960s. Lessons of this border war were one of the reasons for the PLA's wide-ranging drive to modernize itself from the 1980s onward.
