Synopsis"No way in hell you could survive 'out there' with six men. You couldn't live thirty minutes 'out there' with only six men." pg. 13] In 1965 nearly four hundred men were interviewed and only thirty-two selected for the infant LRRP Detachment of the lst Brigade, 101st Airborne Division. Old-timers called it the suicide unit. Whether conducting prisoner snatches, search and destroy missions, or hunting for the enemy's secret base camps, LRRPs depended on one another 110 percent. One false step, one small mistake by one man could mean sudden death for all. Author Reynel Martinez, himself a 101st LRRP Detachment veteran, takes us into the lives and battles of the extraordinary men for whom the brotherhood of war was and is an ever-present reality: the courage, the sacrifice, the sense of loss when one of your own dies. In the hills, valleys, and triple-canopy jungles, the ambushes, firefights, and copter crashes, LRRPs were among the best and bravest to fight in Vietnam., "No way in hell you could survive 'out there' with six men.

  • Get the Series...great!

    Items were shipped quickly and the packaging protected the books. Long series, but each book is filled with history from the people who fought the war. Had a hard time putting the books down to do other tasks, great read that takes you back in time to what could have happened.
