About this eBook
THEY CAME TO VIETNAM AS THE BEST-TRAINED, MOST ELITE WARRIORS IN THE WORLD. THEN THEY LEARNED A WHOLE NEW KIND OF WAR.
No fighting men in the world were a match for the U.S. Army Special Forces, the men of the green beret. But in the chaos of Vietnam, where enemies, allies, friends, and traitors all shared a landscape of terror, the Green Berets had to develop their own tactics and draw closer to the only people they could trust: each other. In this extraordinary book, former green beret Don Bendell looks back at life and death at A-Team Camp 242, Dak Pek. From clandestine missions alongside the fierce and proud Montagnard tribesmen to wild rides in bullet-riddled Hueys, Bendell tells of firefights, LRRP missions, dust-offs, air strikes, prisoner interrogations, and acts of courage and daring that convinced the enemy that they were dealing with a unique breed of warrior. Most of all, Bendell captures the spirit of the men who were there: how they laughed, cried, and fought by one another's side in the beautiful green hell of the Cambodian border.

He and his Master Instructor late wife Shirley, were the only couple to both be inducted into the International Karate and Kickboxing Hall of Fame. Praise for Don Bendell "If you liked Louis L’Amour, you will really love Don Bendell." —Asa Baber, Playboy magazine
