Description
In 1966, three members of the SAS embarked on a perilous mission in Vietnam's Phuoc Tuy province. Their task was to root out the Viet Cong from their labyrinthine tunnel system, working under appalling conditions. The team, comprising Sergeant Jimmy 'Jimbo' Ashman, Sergeant Richard 'Dead-eye Dick' Parker, and Lieutenant-Colonel Patrick 'Paddy' Callaghan, had to forge themselves into a potent fighting machine. The journey would be a nightmare, with constant attacks from the enemy and limited resources. Their mission was fraught with danger, and some would never return. This is their story, a harrowing account of one of the most infamous SAS operations in history.
