Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. 263 pages. Includes Foreword, Introduction, Prologue, and Glossary. Also includes a map of the Republic of Vietnam, as well as 37 black and white photographs of LRRPS, LRPS, and Rangers in Vietnam. Gary Linderer is the publisher of Behind the Lines, a magazin…e that specializes in US military special operations. He served in Vietnam with the LRPs of the 101st Airborne Division, earning two Silver Stars, the Bronze Star with V device (for valor), the Army Commendation Medal with V device, and two Purple Hearts. Outnumbered, out-gunned, and in the middle of nowhere, the Rangers managed to be the hunters, not the prey. Fighting on the enemy's turf, their job was to bring the war to the Viet Cong, which they did with ruthless expertise. More gripping, no-holds-barred LRRP accounts from the front lines. During the Vietnam War, few combat operations were more dangerous than LRRP/Ranger missions. Vastly outnumbered, the patrols faced overwhelming odds as they fought to carry out their missions, from gathering intelligence, acting as hunter/killer teams, or engaging in infamous "Parakeet" flights- actions in which teams were dropped into enemy areas and expected to "develop" the situation. PHANTOM WARRIORS II presents heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat stories from individuals and teams. These elite warriors relive sudden deadly firefights, prolonged gun battles with large enemy forces, desperate attempts to help fallen comrades, and the sheer hell of bloody, no-quarter combat. The LRRP accounts here are a testament to the courage, guts, daring, and sacrifice of the men who willingly faced death every day of their lives in Vietnam. Presumed Book Club edition [no price on DJ].
