Battle of Lak Sao

 * ... that Phoumi Nosavan launched the Battle of Lak Sao against United States advice?
 * Reviewed: United States Senate election in Illinois, 1885
 * Comment: This was the second in a series of unsuccessful battles fought by the Lao army to expel Vietnamese communist invaders from Laos. Its loss in early 1964 undermined the power of the Lao general running Laos, Phoumi Nosavan, and underlined the incapacity of the Royal Lao Army. By contrast, the Central Intelligence Agency's guerrilla army was enjoying great success, and subsequently attracting U.S. funding. The Laotian Civil War would increasingly be fought by irregulars.
