Publisher's Synopsis
This sequel to the author's autobiography "The Youngest Green Beret" blends fiction and reality in a captivating way. The author draws on his own and his team members' experiences to craft a fictional story that reveals some intimate truths about the Vietnam War. He takes us into the mind of the main character, based on himself, and shows us the horrors and challenges of war, both on and behind enemy lines. He narrates a failed recon mission, a visit to a Viet Cong village, the execution of a double agent spy, and the exposure of a top secret operation. The story is loaded with actual events and real character names, with permission from the living persons. It is hard to tell where reality ends and fiction begins in this historical fiction novel that is more than a thinly veiled rendition of the truth.
