Seller's Description:
Good. x, [2], 274, [2] pages. Slightly cocked. Some page browning. Includes Preface, Prologue, 33 chapters, and an Epilogue. Includes black and white map of South Vietnam, Prologue, and 15 black and white photographs of soldiers.

When Gary Ford volunteered in October of 1967 for a new LRP company being formed, all he knew was that he wanted to leave the grunts in Vietnam behind. But Company F, Long Range Patrol, 51st Infantry (Airborne) would demand qualities and courage that tested him to his limit. During forty-four patrols in the seventeen months F/51 was in existence, first as a team member and then as the leader of team 4/4, Ford discovered the real meaning of warfare--nights torn apart by screaming mortars, the cries of wounded men, the blood and death and exhaustion, and, worst of all, being left in enemy territory after your position has been compromised. The grit and guts, heroism and horror, of one man's war in Vietnam 4/4: A LRP'S NARRATIVE is a chronicle of survival and indomitable courage in the face of inhuman odds. In the hell of combat, Ford reveals what warriors are really made of.
