US Special Forces in Vietnam

De: Nick Brokhausen

Narrado por: George Spelvin

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.

Hilarious. Entertaining.

Best ‘nam book I’ve read. Hilarious the entire time but still had all aspects of war and SOG front and center. Can’t wait until the next one!

one of my best experiences on audible

Story, topic and narrator... all combines with an interesting, very humorous and informative experience. A keeper!

One of my absolute favorite books!

One of my favorite readings too, very well done. I don't give five stars ok lightly here.

Magnificent

This book is bar none the best war memoir I have ever read. As a combat veteran grunt I could relate to so much of what he was saying. Hilariously told in the manner of a true warrior poet. A must read.

phenomenal.

Really enjoyed listening. Listened to next book, loved it, and came back to listen again.
