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 guerilla 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.

Having heard many Nam books, I have never laughed so much. Fantastic stories told in a way that that makes you laugh. Not for the faint hearted as you are warned in the beginning, so true.

Fantastisk fortælling om S.F og hvordan de udførte det vilde missioner, fortalt med en super fed sort militær humor😄🤘🏼

I endured four hours of listening thinking the authors OTT uber gong ho style was just to get the reader’s attention. But it isn’t. It is a comic book and you will find more psychological depth in stone carvings. Officers are complete morons, SF and especially NCO’s completely badass hard drinking super men. MPs are idiots and should be beaten up etc. it would have helped being intoxicated while listening but I wasn’t. There’s no question that the author would have liked it to have happened that way - but I will bet you it didn’t. Many great books have been written about the Vietnam war - but this is more of a fairy tale. So if you are the type who likes Transformers movies, this is definitely a book for you 😁
