Great book about Vietnam by Mike Hodgins. Mike was in 1st Reconnaisance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, Danang. He tells some riveting stories about small unit patrols deep in enemy territory. The stories about emergency extracts and capturing enemy soldiers are amazing. I strongly recommend the book.
Mike was a Marine Corps OCS and Basic School Hotel Company 8-69 Classmate. His book is a great companion piece to the book written by Mike Curry, also from our Basic School Class and who wrote another great book about 1st Recon Battalion.

"ONE OF THE BEST VIETNAM WAR STORIES I'VE EVER READ, one damn good, compelling read. It's almost something out of a Clancy novel, yet it's true. The best thing I can say about it is I didn't want it to end."
--Col. David Hackworth, New York Times bestselling author of About Face
