Description
This riveting memoir recounts the experiences of a small group of Americans and their allies who formed the backbone of ground reconnaissance in Vietnam during the war. Nick Brokhausen's second tour to Vietnam was with Recon Team Habu, CCN, part of MACV-SOG, a unit known for its daring missions.
The team conducted some of the most perilous operations of the war, infiltrating areas controlled by the North Vietnamese in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. With only 30 Americans on each mission, they provided crucial intelligence to the US military, using innovative technology and tactics developed during the French and Indian Wars.
Brokhausen's unit achieved an impressive record of valor, but at a terrible cost: a high number of wounded and killed in action. Despite the dangers, these men demonstrated remarkable courage and resolve, working alongside indigenous allies to face the challenges of the war.
