Beth Rashbaum, my editor, provided expert guidance and effort in my behalf, as did copy editorMike Mattil. Beth's assistants, Debra Roth and Skye Gibson, and Claude Lee and Jeannie Abboud from the production depart- ment, helped make the process ofcreating this book both possible and pleasant. Phil Jordan designed and thereby enhanced these pages. Ronnie Harlowe, Clarence Harlowe and Joe Vicino supervised the typesetting. At the beginning, Larry Ashmead liked my ideaand introduced me to my agent, Don Cleary, who ably represented meand found adistinguished publisher. My wife Pam was patiently support- ive during the entire process. I also wantto thank my brotherFred. Furthermore, Iwish to acknowledge the work ofotherauthors, especially thatofDavid Halberstam, Joseph Buttinger, Godfrey Hodg- son, James Aronson and Bernard Fall. I hope that in the same way my work will be of benefit to otherwriters'examination ofthis importantperiod ofourhistory.
