The work by Sinh, former Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Yen Bai Newspaper, tells about the arduous but heroic struggle of Vietnamese volunteers during the Plain of Jars campaign in Xieng Khoang, Laos, in 1971-1972.

This was a defensive campaign of the Vietnam - Laos coalition army to defeat the plot to invade Laos of Lao right-wing forces and the Thai army during the rainy season, and to protect the liberated area of the Plain of Jars in Xieng Khouang.
