Somewhere in the jungles of Vietnam, they became something more than soldiers. They became...

FIGHTING MEN

A special forces adventurer who became Korean Minister of Agriculture for a day...a mini-D-Day that happened when a Green Beret met some Navy guys with a problem...an Operation code named Barroom designed to parachute four five-ton elephants deep in the Vietnamese jungle. In Jim Morris' classic collection of Special Forces stories, we are given a vivid, sometimes humorous, and often terrifying, look at the culture of the elite warrior trained to fight outside the box, survive in hostile terrain, and kill the enemy before the enemy knew he was there. Profiling men who wanted to be the best, Morris leads us through night jumps and ambushes, from the day-to-day action of Green Berets fighting alongside indigenous Vietnamese to the onslaught that was the Tet Offensive. Along the way, the jungle comes alive, the smell of white phosphorous burns the nostrils, and the voices of brave and extraordinary men-some who lived and some who died-are etched in the mind forever...

From the Inside Flap:

Fighting Men
"The finest warriors of this century have been the Americans who fought their wars outside the restrictions of conventional military organizations. It has been said that it's impossible to vicariously experience Vietnam, but Fighting Men, it seems to me, gives the reader the privilege of doing just that." -W.E.B. Griffin (from the foreword)

War Story
"Reads like the best fiction and yet every word of it is true."-J.C. Pollock, author of Mission M.I.A.

"If you want to know how it really was in the Special Forces in Vietnam, this is the book to read-no fantasy, no antiwar message, just the true war story."-General Jack Singlaub, USA (Ret.)

"No other book gives the feel of what it was really like to be a Green Beret in Vietnam the way War Story does."-Robert K. Brown, Publisher, Soldier of Fortune

About the Author:

Jim Morris served three tours with Special Forces in Vietnam, emerging with four Bronze Stars and four Purple Hearts.
