A Green Beret's gripping memoir of American Special Forces in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.   

In 1970, on his second tour to Vietnam, Nick Brokhausen served in Recon Team Habu, CCN. Officially, it was known as the Studies and Observations group. In fact, this Special Forces squad, which Brokhausen calls "an unwashed, profane, ribald, joyously alive fraternity", undertook some of the most dangerous and suicidal reconnaissance missions ever in the enemy-controlled territory of Cambodia and Laos. 

But they didn't infiltrate the jungles alone. They fought alongside the Montagnards - oppressed minorities from the mountain highlands, trained by the US military in guerrilla tactics, armed, accustomed to the wild, and fully engaged in a war against the North Vietnamese. 

Together, this small unit formed the backbone of ground reconnaissance in the Republic of Vietnam, racking up medals for valor - but at a terrible cost.

I enjoyed this book. The narrator was fairly decent as well. Gives a good unbiased viewpoint from the author on a war that probably didn't make sense to a lot of soldiers. A good mix of humor and surrealism.

A interesting look into the war

Not just the missions, this book captures the on and off mission personalities of the operators and their penchant for chaos and mayhem. Simply an amazing listen.

This was a great listen in my opinion. I found it after listening to band of brothers and was not disappointed. I kind of wish it was longer, the ending was good, but felt rushed. I really appreciate these kind of books, it's like a time machine in a sense and I'm very grateful for the experience I've had listening to this book. highly recommend.
