Resumen del Editor

Based on the true stories of the two US Navy Seals operating behind enemy lines in Vietnam with the super top-secret unit MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam, Special Operations Group)

US Navy Seal Lieutenant Tom Norris, on three separate occasions over a four-day period, with no sleep, went behind enemy lines to rescue two downed air force pilots. Using stealth tactics, he was able to get though or around hundreds of North Vietnamese to rescue one pilot. The second pilot - hungry, thirsty, and having lost 40 pounds - was disoriented and unable to help in his rescue. Norris, with the help of one Vietnamese Seal, was able to safely bring the pilot back inside US lines.

Six months later, US Navy Seal Mike Thornton was on a top-secret mission with Lieutenant Norris behind enemy lines. Chinese junks dropped them off 10 miles north of their target. After swimming to shore, the team conducted a recon mission but was discovered the following morning by North Vietnamese. Fighting their way to the South China Sea, they began swimming out to sea. All were wounded, but Thornton, himself wounded and using a breast stroke, was able to tow or push the whole team out to sea until they were rescued.

This was the first time in the history of the Medal of Honor that one recipient got the medal for rescuing another recipient - and each was able to witness the other's ceremonies.

God bless our fighting men and women.

Incredible story.
Audio quality isn’t great bit of an echo in the background.
Leave no man behind.

Gripping compelling. Wonderful

Everyone who lives in a free country needs to read this book. God bless the men in this book

Great book

loved it, great stories very detailed was not hard to finish listening to this book.

Phenomenal work

Loved it. Listening to the sacrifices of these two warriors brought tears to my eyes.

The real story behind Bat 21

Outstanding account of frog men of MACV, the heroic deeds they themselves downplay as just doing their duty. Some may point out this or that on maybe narration, not me. The narration had me there and throughly briefed, tracking the mission as if I had been first man behind man on point. I recommend this read

Very Insightful

Great history of Bat-21 and the less know operations for SEALS and Marines in support of MAXV-SOG. My only complaint is the sound quality. While I could understand that narrator/author fine, or the quality was not as crisp as other recordings. Still very interesting. I finished it all on one day.

Good narration

Clear and concise narration along with a well explanation of the recounts of the events

Amazingly Brave Teams'

It unbelievable how the Aviator's, worked to save Team's on the ground & vice-versa awesome!!

Outstanding Research!

1st Sgt McKim orates in detail two Navy SEALS who were awarded the Medal of Honor. His research is top notch and kept me intrigued as I listened.

Great story, not narrators main job

story was great. Narration is amusing as you constantly hear him casting off the sheets of paper as he goes. later you will hear lots of creaking (his chair i believe). read from his office or something but not bad.
