Beyond Courage: A Vietnam War Novel
Par šo e-grāmatu
CIA officer Rene Granier heads up a covert team of specialists out to hunt down and annihilate the very heart of the Viet Cong. Will their merciless tactics shorten the war? Will it be worth the price?
In 1966, the Vietnam War rages with no end in sight. The Americans try everything in their power to stop the flow of arms to the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces in the south, but nothing works. The generals at the Pentagon underestimated their enemy and the army of dedicated civilians maintaining the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The Americans must do something fast and significant to turn the tide. Arclight, Iron Hand, Riverine, and Keyman are all unproven concepts that could change the course of the war. Will they work?
The Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese have their own plans on how to defeat their enemy. Like a worm on a hook, they use their soldiers as bait to draw the allied forces into ambushes and unleash their human-wave assaults. The more the communists fight, the less they fear. Even the Americans and their technology can be defeated.
A young photojournalist is there to record history and reveal the ugly realities of war to the world. But Vietnam is not what she expects, and neither is the thrill of danger she feels.
Like all the books in the Airmen Series, Beyond Courage is based on historical events and real people. Its pages are filled with combat action and heart-stopping suspense.
