During his first tour in Vietnam - 1967-68 - Dick Taylor was a
well-trained and highly motivated amateur assigned to advise a
hard-bitten ARVN infantry battalion working in the mud and streams
of IV Corps. He became savvy in a hurry and found that he was both
brave and resourceful. He barely survived Tet 1968, then served on
an advisory team staff. For the next two years, Taylor earned a
Ranger tab, served on a division staff, and schooled on. He met a
woman, and married her days before he returned to Vietnam. Taylor's
second tour- 1970-71 - was altogether different. He immediately
assumed command of Bravo Company, 1/7 Cav, and excelled as a
commander and a leader. He was aggressive in the field, confident
in his command, and assertive with his superiors. He fought a good
war, a successful war, and when he was forced to take a staff job
it was as his battalion's intelligence officer. But the war was
winding down, its purpose lost. Taylor's spirit's flagged, but not
his fidelity. This well-written combat memoir is heartfelt,
earnest, honest, and just a little melancholy. About the Author
Colonel Richard Taylor was an original member of the first modern
Ranger battalion. He also commanded an infantry training battalion,
served with the 82nd Airborne, directed an academic department at
the Army's staff college and provided military advice to NATO
during the break up of the Warsaw Pact.
