520    "This riveting memoir details the actions and experiences 
       of a small group of Americans and their allies who were 
       the backbone of ground reconnaissance in the Republic of 
       Vietnam during the Vietnam War. On his second tour to 
       Vietnam, Nick Brokhausen served in Recon Team Habu, CCN. 
       This unit was part of MACV-SOG (Military Assistance 
       Command Vietnam Studies and Observations Group), or 
       Studies and Observations Group as it was innocuously 
       called. The small recon companies that were the center of 
       its activities conducted some of the most dangerous 
       missions of the war, infiltrating areas controlled by the 
       North Vietnamese in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The 
       companies never exceeded more than 30 Americans, yet they 
       were the best source for the enemy's disposition and were 
       key to the US military being able to take the war to the 
       enemy, by utilizing new and innovative technology and 
       tactics dating back to the French and Indian Wars. 
       Brokhausen's group racked up one of the most impressive 
       records of awards for valor of any unit in the history of 
       the United States Army. It came at a terrible price, 
       however; the number of wounded and killed in action was 
       incredibly high. Those missions today seem suicidal. In 
       1970 equally so, yet these men went out day after day with
       their indigenous allies - Montagnard tribesmen, Vietnamese,
       and Chinese Nungs - and faced the challenges with courage 
       and resolve."--Amazon.
