AMBUSH PATROL: A Viet Nam War Novel

The new company commander has made things difficult for Lieutenant Carr and Sergeant Samples, as if combat in Viet Nam wasn’t bad enough. After a grueling day slogging through the jungle, made worse by his poor map reading skills and bad decisions, the captain insisted on accompanying Carr and his platoon on a night ambush patrol deep into the woods of the Crescent. When the captain refused to acknowledge that they were lost, and then accidentally disabled the radio, the patrol settled in unaware that they were in serious danger from an approaching North Vietnamese Army unit. The ensuing firefight trapped the patrol with no hope of support. Sergeant Samples, left behind at the night laager with the armored personnel carriers, defied authority and devised a bold plan to rescue the men of his platoon. The action never stops in this exciting and tense novel of infantrymen in combat.
