30Ty Days in Hell: Untold Story of VietnamBefore the war in Vietnam began in earnest, hundreds of U.S. advisors were stationed in Indo-China. Our early deployed were to train, educate and perform strategic planning for allied troops soon to follow. Although written as a novel, this story is based upon historical facts. The plot follows the duties of one soldier ordered behind enemy lines into "non-combative", neutral neighboring countries to achieve his goals. Forward air controllers duties included not only air support services but also mapping and intelligence gathering. The initial troops were few in numbers yet performed duties far above and beyond the call of duty. This is one story of thousands which has never been told. Join me for "30TY DAYS IN HELL" |
