About this product

Product Information

"The enemy had a single purpose: kill me and my teammates." Larry Chambers was still new to Vietnam in early 1969 when the LRRPs of the 101st Airborne Division became L Company, 75th (Rangers). But his unit's mission stayed the same: act as the eyes and ears of the 101st deep in the dreaded A Shau Valley--where the NVA ruled. Relentless thick fog frequently made fighter bombers useless in the A Shau, and the enemy had furnished the nearby mountaintops with antiaircraft machine guns to protect the massive trail network that snaked through it. So, outgunned, outmanned, and unsupported, the teams of L Company executed hundreds of courageous missions. Now, in this powerful personal record, Larry Chambers recaptures the experience of the war's most brutal on-the-job training, where the slightest noise or smallest error could bring sudden--and certain--death. . . .

Death In The A Shau Valley
A top shelf book about LRRPs (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) who became Army Rangers in Vietnam. Written by Larry Chambers, the book details a number of missions deep inside the jungles and along the mountainsides of Vietnam looking for the North Vietnamese Army or the Viet Cong. Chambers tells the stories of missions he not only walked point on, but those of his comrades. The book has a glossary which explains terms used by servicemen in Vietnam and abbreviations common to Army personnel. This is very helpful enabling the reader to better understand what the writer is saying, but it will also help you appreciate the dialogue in motion pictures such as PLATOON. You can generally pick up a used copy of this book real cheap on eBay and its worth it. If you would like another must read...grab a copy of Larry Chambers' other book RECONDO, LRRPs in the 101st Airborne.Read full review

I lived in the Valley
I spent the 69-70 time frame in the Valley. I probably lifted these troops several times during the conflict. The book is well written and factual. I highly recommend.
