About this ebook

A shattering novel of courage, heroism, and unbreakable bonds forged in the heat of battle.
Green Beret Captain Finn McCulloden and his troops are having a very bad day -- even by the nightmarish standards of Vietnam. They've just been dropped into a meat grinder with orders to reinforce a Special Forces border camp that's about to be overrun by the North Vietnamese. Outnumbered twenty-to-one, beset by treachery from within, and saddled with an incompetent second-in-command, McCulloden knows that all hell is about to break loose.
Through one brutal day and night McCulloden and his men fight alongside their native Montagnard allies in a pitched battle of blood and guts against an unwavering foe who never stops coming. The Green Berets can neither give up nor give in, and all will become heroes in the truest sense of the word. But one extraordinary soldier man rises above them all in an ultimate act of valor....

Ratings and reviews

Wow what a great book. It is easy to tell Mullins has been there and done that. If you have served in an A Team Camp or the Mobile Mike Force you will feel you are back there again and lucky to have lived thru each fire fight. This is an edge of your seat kind of book that cannot be put down. This book deserves at least 10 stars.

Fast moving, action packed. Loved it.

Good believeable read. Great informative action. Could tell it was in Viet Nam.
