The quiet of the night was again shattered by the thunderous
roll of incoming artillery shells, spaced five seconds apart,
ripping the jungle to pieces, as huge chunks of earth and
vegetation blew skyward under the brilliant flashes of orange and
white explosions . . . The possibility of encountering more NVA
troops moving through our area was high, as we had pushed a very
great stick into their nest. But our demonstrated ability to find
the enemy and wait for the most opportune time to hit him, while
remaining totally undetected, gave us reason to be pleased. It also
gave the NVA reason for concern.
In "Force Recon Diary, 1970," Bruce "Doc" Norton offers a
harrowing sequel to his best-selling "Force Recon Diary, 1969,"
continuing the true story of a navy corpsman who became a Force
Recon Team Leader behind enemy lines in the jungles of Vietnam. In
the midst of a war set deep in the jungle, the Force Recon Marines
often found themselves lacking food, drinkable water, explosives,
or even enough radio batteries. Armed with only their own courage,
skills, and loyalty to their brothers in arms, the Marines used
stealth and cunning to survive in the harsh conditions of Vietnam,
where one mistake could prove fatal not just for an individual
Marine, but for the entire unit.
