Synopsis:
In the green hell that was Vietnam, men grew up quickly. And the young lieutenants, if they survived, grew up quicker than most. Here is the gripping, action-packed, true-life story of one lieutenant, James R. McDonough, and his progress from innocent rookie to hardened warrior. He had been trained as a leader and schooled in infantry tactics. But now, in the horror and chaos of day-to-day jungle combat, he had to conquer his fears, establish authority, and gain the trust of wary seasoned veterans. And all the while, lurking in the deep shadows, a clever and devious enemy waited patiently for McDonough’s first mistake.
