Sometimes, war takes the good guys so far from home they can t find their way back. This is such a story. It is high adventure, filled with desperate scenes of combat, with the real story laced like fine silk thread tying the whole thing together. The Author has carried this story in his heart and mind for almost fifty years. Now, the time has come to tell it.
Powerful events deserve a book which lives beyond the life span of the participants.
