During the 1960's and 70's, officers and men of the U.S. Army were assigned to South Vietnamese Infantry companies and platoons. many of these men were lost in a war that is still misunderstood, decades after its conclusion. The events decribed are first hand accounts of the daily adventures of infantry as well as the intelligence advisors who were part of the ultra secret CIA funded Phoenix Program. This is their story, written in their own words. These Americans, and the units they lived with, engaged in savage fights against Viet Cong guerillas and North Vietnamese Army Regulars in the dark, deadly jungles north of Saigon. 177 pages, with 50 never before published photographs.
