About This Item
New York, N.Y.: Ballantine Books, 2000. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xi, [1], 307, [1] pages. Introduction by Kenn Miller. Glossary. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. The combat tales in this captivating book shows the author and his comrades at their best and most desperate. Trapped in the middle of an ambush, one team has no choice but to charge out, meaning men will die. If they don't, they will all be dead. This book tells the ultimate story of grace under fire. The author was a member of the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam, where he earned two Silver Stars, the Bronze Star, the Army Commendation Medal with V device, and two Purple Hearts. Gary Linderer is the publisher of Behind the Lines, a magazine that specializes in US military special operations. Gary Linderer volunteered for the Army, then volunteered for Airborne training. When he reached Vietnam in 1968, he was assigned to the famous "Screaming Eagles," the 101st Airborne Division. Once there, he volunteered for training and duty with F Company 58th Inf, the Long Range Patrol company that was "the Eyes of the Eagle." F Company pulled reconnaissance missions and ambushes, and Linderer recounts night insertions into enemy territory, patrols against NVA antiaircraft emplacements and rocket-launching facilities, the fragging of an unpopular company commander, and one of the bravest demonstrations of courage under fire that has ever been described. In this book here are some of the most courageous missions executed by six-man teams on their own deep behind enemy lines. Kenn Miller served in A Troop 2/17 Cav, the 1st Brigade 101st Airborne Divisions LRRP detachment, F Company 58th Infantry (LRP), and L Company 75th Infantry (Ranger) during one tour and three voluntary extensions in Vietnam.
