At the end of October 1969, 5,000 North Vietnamese Army regulars
surrounded a force of 150 American soldiers and their South
Vietnamese allies at a firebase in a far-flung corner of Vietnam.
The situation was desperate and, despite initial attempts to
resupply the base, soon became untenable. It was fight on and meet
near-certain death or capture--or attempt an escape. Led by a pair
of no-nonsense Special Forces soldiers, the Americans and their
allies chose escape, which was a harrowing five-hour experience
conducted across two and a half miles of enemy-infested ground in
the dark of night. This story of against-all-odds bravery is also a
cautionary tale about the perils of Richard Nixon's policy of
Vietnamization, which produced the precarious situation at Fire
Support Base Kate.
