For firefights in the swamps, ambushes in the jungle, or just facing the enemy dead-on, Recondo trained LRRPs to win.

They will never be able to duplicate the 5th Special Forces Recondo School and the training that gave its grads something they desperately needed -- the skills to survive Long Range Patrol missions in the jungle that NVA considered its own. Vietman veteran Larry Chambers vividly describes the grit and courage it took to pass the tough volunteer-only training program in Nha Trang and the harrowing graduation mission to scout out, locate, and out-guerrilla the NVA.

Here is an unforgettable account that follows Chambers and the Rangers every step of the way -- from joining, going through Recondo, and finally leading his own team on white-knuckle missions through the deadly jungles of Vietnam.

"I made this book mandatory reading for my Rangers... We went from the worst platoon in the regiment to the best platoon in six months. In training we'd get to the objective so fast they had to hold us back." -- U.S. Army Master Sergeant H. "Max" Mullen Ret. 75th Ranger Regiment
