hottest of fights. Enriched with a memorable cast of characters and
thrilling details that only a Vietnam veteran could capture, Long

keep their brothers alive.
A carefree young man, shipped to Vietnam in the early sixties,
faces treachery in the midst of battle in this novel by the author
of Long Range Patrol. With "a bit of James Dean in his walk, Elvis
in his smile and Jerry Lee Lewis in his attitude," Scotty Hayes is
an unlikely candidate for the army. But the draft board is about to
turn his world upside down. Two months after Scotty hitches a ride
from Belton, Florida, to Fort Benning in Georgia with exactly
thirty-nine dollars in his pocket, the president is assassinated.

fighting deadly AK-47 fire, the jungle, and treachery within his
ranks. When a superior's cowardice plunges Scotty into a hot zone
with his comrades' lives at stake, he must find an answer for the
danger that threatens to engulf them all.
Captain Jim Hollister leads his team on deadly missions through
southern Vietnam in this gritty war novel from the author of Long
Range Patrol. There is a little bit of Jim Hollister in all of us.
Captain Jim Hollister ended his first tour of duty in Vietnam laid
up in a field hospital. His most serious wounds were deep inside.
Back home in America, he often woke up in the middle of the night
in the grip of terrifying nightmares. But nothing-not even his
long-suffering fiancee, Susan-could stop him from going back to
serve his country. This time around, Jim serves as operations
officer for Juliet Company, a Ranger squad with high demands placed
on it to find and eliminate Viet Cong forces slipping across the
Cambodian border. Fighting the enemy in the rice paddy terrain
between Saigon and the border requires even more planning,
training, and battlefield guile than do the tropical rain forests
of the Central Highlands. Night Work brings to vivid life the
courage and selfless dedication of the Army Rangers in Vietnam-and
the profound costs of war.
Captain Jim Hollister returns for his third and final tour in
Vietnam in the thrilling trilogy finale from the author of Long
Range Patrol and Night Work. In the increasingly divided Juliet
Company, racial tensions are running high and morale is at an
all-time low. Combat readiness seems tenuous. Captain Jim
Hollister's first order of business is to bring his company back
into fighting shape. To survive hot LZs, sleepless nights, and a
tireless enemy, the men of Juliet Company have to train hard and
then fight harder-and watch out for their brothers in arms. New
commander Captain Jim Hollister makes extreme demands on his
Rangers to enhance their combat expertise and survivability through
rigorous training and preparations for each operation. As the US
begins its withdrawal of troops, Hollister and his men are
entrusted with gathering the critical intelligence needed to save
American lives while attempting to eliminate or capture as many
enemy soldiers as they can with their small teams of Rangers. From
infiltration patrols into Viet Cong camps deep in Cambodia to
critical oversight by a chain of command without much understanding
of ranger patrol techniques, Hollister even has to protect his men
from higher headquarters. The operations he oversees reveal the
physical and psychological wounds of a war that can never be
forgotten. Take Back the Night is the searing final chapter in
Dennis Foley's acclaimed Jim Hollister Trilogy.
Throughout his several tours of Vietnam, Dennis Foley served with
America's finest warriors -- men like David Hackworth, the nation's
most decorated living soldier, and Jim Gardner, who was awarded the
Medal of Honor for sacrificing his life so that his men might live.
Now, in a tough, clear-eyed account, he recaptures the raw courage
and sacrifice of American soldiers fighting a savage and desperate
battle for survival.
