About this listen

A Green Beret's gripping memoir of American Special Forces in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.

In 1970, on his second tour to Vietnam, Nick Brokhausen served in Recon Team Habu, CCN. Officially, it was known as the Studies and Observations group. In fact, this Special Forces squad, which Brokhausen calls "an unwashed, profane, ribald, joyously alive fraternity", undertook some of the most dangerous and suicidal reconnaissance missions ever in the enemy-controlled territory of Cambodia and Laos.

But they didn't infiltrate the jungles alone. They fought alongside the Montagnards - oppressed minorities from the mountain highlands, trained by the US military in guerrilla tactics, armed, accustomed to the wild, and fully engaged in a war against the North Vietnamese.

Together, this small unit formed the backbone of ground reconnaissance in the Republic of Vietnam, racking up medals for valor - but at a terrible cost.

Detailed, enthralling and at times hilarious. I cannot wait to start the next book, it can only be as good or better!

Phenomenal account of SOG operations

Really enjoyed this as a different perspective on the Vietnam war from a special forces and real soldiers point of view.

At times shocking and brutal at other times moving and hilarious, but always engaging and a great listen.

Does convey some of the horror that these guys went through as much as is possible without being there and a brief insight into a certain mindset required to survive in combat.

Great content and great narration.






A great listen from start to finsh

Memoir of a special forces solder who falls into a recon unit working deep in the enemies rear. A bunch off oddballs who work with Montanyard mercenaries. A mix of intense combat and intense play.

Unique reflection
