Eric Blehm tells a story of Roy Benavidez, a Special Forces staff sergeant who risked his life to rescue a squad of his Fellow Special Forces troops who were stranded in Cambodia and suppressed by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. Roy Benavidez was a true American hero who refused to abandon his fellow soldiers.
At first, I thought that it was just another book about the Vietnam War, but when I started reading it, I couldn't stop. Blehm's writing style resembles a novel, and I instantly found a connection to the book. The way that Blehm tells the story, you could almost sense the battle. I felt the bullets whizzing by, and grenades hurtling through the air as the main subject of the book, Roy Benavidez held up his section of the jungle. As bayonets tore into Benavidez's body, I found myself wincing in pain. The story is just that good.
I recommend this book to anybody interested in military history. America should never forget its heroes. They have served and continue to serve valiantly and with great honor so that future generations can appreciate the values that America stands for.
