This is an illustrative book well written and true to fact. The information was obtained from those LRRP Rangers who were inserted in the midst of enemy units as 5 and 6 man Special Operation teams. This book is about the men who volunteered to get a piece of the action...and they found it. I know, I was unit one of them.

Ron Field's book provides an excellent overview of LRRP/LRP/Ranger doctrines and missions in Vietnam. The narratives have been provided by those who participated in the actual missions and includes most of the LRRP/LRP/Ranger units which fought in Vietnam. Through the verbiage, extensive photos and excellent artists renditions, and even sections on equipment and uniforms, the reader gets a lot a information in a single book. A couple of our team's missions were included and the author faithfully depicted them as they occurred. An excellent contribution to the growing literature on special ops in Vietnam.

Very few books are written about these brave soldiers. This book not only gives a good history of the Rangers it has some excellent in country photos as well.
