No Greater Love : A day with the Mobile Guerrilla Force in Vietnam

About this book

"Here we go I said to myself as my system electrified with the familiar rush of adrenaline." An elite unit armed to the teeth the Mobile Guerrilla Force was Americas only real guerrilla force in Vietnam. These men operated for weeks at a time--springing ambushes destroying base camps and gathering vital intelligence--in steamy triple-canopied jungles ruled by the VC and NVA. On July 18 1967 Special Forces medic James Donahue and his platoon were on a mission code-named Blackjack-34 to locate enemy units for the 1st Infantry to destroy. But instead a crack enemy battalion found them. Now Donahue bears witness to the bloody events of that day and the exceptional grit and determination of his teammates. BLACKJACK-34 is a magnificent tribute to the warriors of Mobile Guerrilla Force--their courage heroism and willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice.
