The outnumbered and little supported company is at constant war with vicious units of the North Vietnamese Army while at the same time tearing itself apart every night in deadly encounters between its racially mixed elements. The enlisted ranks lack all respect for their untested and inexperienced officers, while the officers fight them right back using supporting fires on the enemy as well as their own warring factions. All the men are ruled by terror and fear of the end they know they are not likely to avoid. They are not going home. They are not going to the rear area. And they are only to be kept moving through a valley of death called the A Shau, with only the manner of their passing in question. That same company so riven by internal strife, however, remains frightfully effective in fighting the enemy. 610 10 $a United States. $b Marine Corps $v Fiction. 630 00 $a American war library. $p Vietnam War $v Fiction. 650 0 $a War fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204091635.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110073537.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A1EF49BC1EB011E8BBC9FE1D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
