About this ebook
In the summer of 1967, the good old days were ending for the hard-core 1st Brigade LRRPs of the 101st Airborne Division, perhaps the finest maneuver element of its size in the history of the United States Army. It was a bitter pill. After working on their own in Vietnam for more than two years, the Brigade LRRPs were ordered to join forces with the division once again.
But even as these formidable hunters and killers were themselves swallowed up by the Screaming Eagles' Division LRPs to eventually become F Co., 58th Infantry, they continued the deadly, daring LRRP tradition. From saturation patrols along the Laotian border to near-suicide missions and compromised positions in the always dangerous A Shau valley, the F/58th unflinchingly faced death every day and became one of the most highly decorated companies in the history of the 101st.

The "Six Silent Men" series is a well written and action packed series of tales from Vietnam's infamous 101st Airborne LRRPS. Kenn Miller's book is very detailed and entertaining. I reccomend this entire series to anyone interested in stories of troops operating behind enemy lines in groups of 6 avoiding contact to gain intelligence on enemy movements, size and mission objectives.

You know a memoire is good when you have vivid memories of stories told more than ten years later.
