Description
They were the young ones, the bright ones, the ones with the dreams. From the Nazi-prowled wastes of North Africa to the bloody corridors of Europe, they honorably answered the call. War meant duty, job, and life to them. They marched off as boys and they came back as soldiers and professionals forged in the heat of battle.
3) The Captains
Author
Description
It was more than an incident. It was a deadly assault across the 38th parallel. It was the Korean War. In the fear and the frenzy of battle, those who had served with heroism before were called again by America to man the trenches and sandbag bunkers. From Pusan to the Yalu, they drove forward with commands too new and tanks too old, brothers in war, bonded together in battle as they had never been in peace.
4) The berets
Author
Description
They were the chosen ones, and the ones who chose to be the best. Never before had the United States given so select a group of fighting men such punishing preparation. Now they were heading for their ultimate test of skill and nerve, and sacrifice, in a war unlike any they or their country had ever fought before, in a land that most of America still knew nothing about: Vietnam.
5) The Colonels
Author
Description
They were the professionals, the men who had been toughened by combat in the mine-laden fields of Europe, in Korea, in Greece, in Indochina. Now, in the twilight of a dying decade, they must return to the United States to forge a new type of American soldier, one to be tested on the beaches of Cuba and in a new war yet to come.
6) The Generals
Author
Description
They were the leaders, the men who made the decisions that changed the outcome of battles and the fate of continents. Now they led America's finest against her most relentless enemy deep in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
