About This Item
New York, N.Y.: Ivy Books, 1991. First Edition, Stated, Presumed First Printing. Mass market paperback. Good. Thomas E. Hitchins (Map). [10], 243, [3] pages. Cover has some wear, soiling, chips, and creases. Includes Acknowledgments, two black and white maps of South Vietnam, and Prologue. This presents an infantry soldier's perspective. You didn't get into the Rangers without volunteering, and you didn't stay on point unless you liked it. But after watching most of his buddies die in a firefight when his LRRP team was overrun by the NVA, Kregg Jorgenson volunteered to serve on a Blue Team in the Air Cavalry, racing to the aid of soldiers who faced the same dangers he had barely survived. Whether enduring NVA sapper attacks, surviving "friendly" fire, or landing in hot LZs, Jorgenson discovered that in Vietnam you never knew whether you were paranoid or just painfully aware of the possibilities. In just ten months in Vietnam, he was overrun, shot up, but not underworked--he survived fifty-four missions as point man. He has one hell of a story to tell.
