- New trade softcover, 3rd printing, 1999, sigtned by one of the surviving helicopter pilots, Joe Healy on the top of the first page
U.S. Marine Corps helicopter crews found little glory waiting for them in faraway Vietnam. Instead they became locked in a savage struggle with tenacious Sino-Soviet pawns. The author, a former Marine Corps helicopter pilot, combines fascinating detail with grim realism. He uses After-Action-Reports, Unit Diaries, and hundreds of records from Marine Corps archives to build the outline for this riveting chronology. Onto this framework the author weaves personal accounts from the helicopter crews and infantrymen. Day by day he breathes life into this eloquent saga of Marines at war. Step through this unique looking-glass into the volitile crucible of combat in Vietnam. Taste the danger and fear, the madness and passion. Experience the love and brotherhood shared by aircrewmen and infantrymen. Their survival became their victory.
