About This Book
This book is the second book in a seven volume set (and more to come) of Brothers to the Bone. The subject of the book (and the series) is an eight member long range reconnaissance team (LRRP) operating out of the 173rd Airborne Brigade base at An Khe Vietnam on LRRP's into Cambodia. It tells the story of their brotherhood. The story of their living, sweating, and bleeding for each other and to accomplish their missions and the dangers they faced each time they ventured into ‘Indian Country'. It's Officer and men are rich and poor. They are well educated and not so much so. They are white, black and Hispanic. All of them are well trained and top notch black operators, skilled at the art of war, deep penetration and stealth. They have the latest in technology to aid them. It is also the story of those who supported them and came to the aid in the darkest of hours. It is the story of their lives together and their brotherhood. Their missions were to gather intelligence, locate enemy troop movements, snatch and grab high level enemy targets, and sometimes to engage the enemy. But for the most part they were to be shadows in enemy territory. They were trained to enter into danger undetected, to operate undetected, and to escape undetected. When that didn't always pan out, they were trained to escape and evade. Sometimes they had to fight and if need be, run for their lives. Sometimes they had air support, but little else. This is the story about the bond they formed among themselves. The central message of the book is about honor, about truth and about those things which gives men courage to fight and sacrifice for each other.
