Description
This is the story of a small group of Americans who played a crucial role in the Vietnam War. Nick Brokhausen's memoir details the actions and experiences of his unit, which conducted some of the most dangerous missions of the war.
Operating in the jungles of Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia, Brokhausen's team, part of the MACV-SOG, used innovative technology and tactics to gather vital intelligence on the enemy. Despite being a small unit, they achieved an impressive record of awards for valor, but at a terrible cost: a high number of wounded and killed in action.
Brokhausen's account is a gripping and unflinching look at the challenges faced by these men and their indigenous allies, the Montagnard tribesmen, Vietnamese, and Chinese Nungs. Their courage and resolve in the face of danger is a testament to their bravery and sacrifice.
