About this ebook
It used to be said that the night belonged to Charlie. But that wasn't true where SEALs patrolled. For six months in 1970, fourteen men in Juliett Platoon of the Navy's SEAL Team One--incuding the author--carried out over a hundred missions in the Mekong Delta without a single platoon fatality. Their primary mission: kidnap enemy soldiers--alive--for interrogation.

While I love true military books, this one had a little too much detail that seemed to sometimes get in the way of the visceral action.

Read it 3 times. Hard to believe it's not fiction, but this is no hype history.
