Publisher's Synopsis
The Vietnam war was a cruel and severe conflict that took a number of people's life. The American soldiers and infantrymen who served I Corp 1 in Que Son understood this the most.
American Special Forces suffered more Green Berets killed and wounded in a single attack on August 23, 1968, than any other day in history. More than 100 sappers infiltrated the Special Forces camp situated on the southern coast of Da Nang, killing 16 Green Berets and wounding at least 48 Americans and scores of allied personnel. For their heroism, the American soldiers earned 22 awards for valor, two awarded posthumously. All American forces in the Da Nang area were warned of a pending attack, including those at the Green Berets' Forward Operating Base Four (FOB 4).
The book tells the story of this disastrous event!
