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.

It doesn't spend 6 hrs rehashing bloody boot camp
I've listened to some shit in my time, some of it has bored me to tears. But not this book. It's not a history lecture, nor a list of faceless names (although respect to those names) and places I can't pronounce. Call me a uneducated heathen. A thoroughly enjoyable listen. Author does a superlative job. Voice suited to the job.

Tales from Nam
I love a good Nam book. This is one of those, not the very best but certainly worth a listen; though don't expect deep analysis of men at war or the ethics of the conflict. Rather breezy and often darkly amusing stories of special forces ops and japes, which I think relates to the way in which soldiers must have kept themselves sane throughout that senseless conflict. Narrated well enough, kept my attention. Overall a thumbs up.

Absolute class
As an avid reader / listener of war and SF memoirs I can honestly say good book is in a different league to the rest. It will make you excited, tense, laugh and maybe cry...you will not be disappointed

Brilliant
Very intelligent funny writer. I guess you had to have a sense of humour to remain sane in those circumstances. I wish Nick would write more books. He could write a book about a rock and it would be interesting, funny and well written
