23 cars made it to the finish. Here is the complete, richly

Road of 10,000 Pains new
The Destruction of the 2nd NVA
Division by the U.S. Marines, 1967
Otto J. Lehrack
“Oh, yes,” a retired NVA officer matter-of-factly declared to
former U.S. Marine Otto J. Lehrack. “In the Que Son Valley
in 1967, we killed more Americans than at any time or
place during the war.” Road of 10,000 Pains, which takes
its name from The Iliad, is an epic oral history of Vietnam’s
bloodiest campaign, fought for seven months in a series of
battles, most within four miles of each other, along Route
534. In October 1967, orders came down to the 2nd North
Vietnamese Army Division commanding them to join with
local Viet Cong units and seize the city of Da Nang in the
coming Tet Offensive. When the time came, the division was
so battered from its seven-month campaign in the Que Son
Valley that it failed to carry out its mission.
