An epic tale of a brotherhood forged by war--masterfully told by a lifelong journalist, war correspondent, and U.S. Army veteran.

"A must-read by military historians who follow the 82nd Airborne Division. It is a compilation of fascinating stories by brave soldiers who found themselves in the crucible of fierce combat." --LTG (Retired) James H. Johnson, 82nd Airborne Division Commander, Panama and Desert Storm

"This book is the best I have ever read about the real situation experienced by infantrymen in the Vietnam War. The stories honor the American soldier and their families, and demonstrate the pride all of us had in these men and their leaders.... A grand slam hit out of the park." --Robert D. Murrill, Esq., Distinguished Member of the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment in the Golden Brigade

"It is a story that needs to be told, and one that all paratroopers, young and old, need to know. When the nation calls, there were and must always be those who will answer--even if it means they sacrifice their todays so that others will experience their tomorrows." --J. Thomas Hennessey Jr., Colonel (Retired), Distinguished Member of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Chief of Staff Emeritus at George Mason University

"A solid chunk of history about an extraordinary brotherhood of warriors." --Vietnam Veterans of America
