Description

Steel My Soldiers' Hearts tells the story of one of the US Army's most legendary lieutenant colonels, who transformed a struggling battalion into a formidable fighting force in Vietnam.

In January 1969, David H. Hackworth was given command of the 4/39th Infantry Battalion, which had suffered the Army's highest casualty rate and was considered its worst fighting unit. With his innovative leadership, Hackworth turned the battalion around, earning him a reputation as one of the most daring and respected officers in Vietnam.

This book is based on interviews with soldiers from the 4/39th Infantry Battalion, conducted by Hackworth's partner and coauthor Eilhys England over the past decade. It offers a unique insight into the battalion's operations, including sniper missions, ambush actions, and helicopter strikes, as well as the complex world of command politics.
