Description
Whispers in the Tall Grass is the second volume of Nick Brokhausen's memoir of his time serving in MACV-SOG in Vietnam. The war is moving into a new phase, with the enemy employing special formations to hunt down recon teams. As a result, missions are becoming increasingly difficult to accomplish without heavy contact.
The teams, comprising Americans and indigenous Montagnards, are forced to adapt to this new reality. Despite their careful preparations, losses are mounting, and the teams are eventually forced to trial new methods, including HALO insertion. As the US prepares to withdraw, the teams undertake critical missions to disrupt supply lines and direct air strikes, in a bid to ease the pressure on the ARVN.
Written in the same vivid and immediate style as his previous memoir, We Few, Whispers in the Tall Grass is a gripping account of the final days of the war and the teams that fought in it.
