'Impeccably researched, unbiased, and revealing.' -Kirkus *One of
the finest chronicles of the mysterious LRRP units of the Vietnam
war *Explains how they were staffed and trained *Discusses their
missions and tactics Vietnam was a different kind of war, calling
for a different kind of soldier. When the first major combat units
were deployed there in 1965 the Army found itself in a predicament.
This was a war unlike any that it had trained and equipped itself
for; the jungle terrain was nothing like Eastern Europe, and the
enemy's preferred guerrilla tactics, as opposed to stand up and
fight set-piece battles, meant that an effective means of locating
him was required. The LRRPs- Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols -
were that new breed of fighting man. They operated in six-man teams
deep within enemy territory, and were the eyes and ears of the
units they served. This is their story of perseverence under
extreme hardship and uncommon bravery, and how they carried out the
war's most hazardous missions. Michael Lee Lanning retired from the
army as a lieutenant colonel after more than twenty years' service.
During his assignment to Vietnam, he served as both an infantry
platoon leader and a company commander in the 199th Infantry
Brigade (Light). He is the author of fourteen books including
Mercenaries, Inside Force Recon, and Inside the Crosshairs.
