Description
In November 1965, some 450 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, under the command of Lt.Col. Hal Moore, were dropped into a small clearing in the la Drang Valley. They were immediately surrounded by two thousand North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was massacred. Together, these actions constitute one of the most savage and significant battles of the Vietnam War. The Americans faced what seemed to be certain destruction. Moore and Joe Galloway [the authors of this book], the only journalist on the ground throughout the fighting, interviewed hundreds of men who fought there. How these heroes persevered makes a ... portrait of war at its most devastating and inspiring.-http://www.booksinprint.com.
