About this listen

"Our mission was independent, no-holds-barred combat against a stubborn enemy in the enemy's backyard."

In Vietnam, river warfare was often conducted in the dark. It was always dangerous, sometimes fatal - especially in the eastern end of the Cong-plagued Mekong Delta. In 1967, US Navy Lt. Wynn Goldsmith was the "river rat" who led the first MK II PBR patrol boats in brutal combat.

It was a deadly business. These sailors, famous for their courage and combat effectiveness, faced sniper bullets, machine guns, and mines while searching sampans, patrolling treacherous enemy-controlled waterways like Ambush Alley, and rescuing crews from burning boats in the middle of firefights. During the Tet Offensive, Goldsmith's area saw some of the most hotly contested fighting in the entire Mekong Delta. This gripping account is a tribute to these brave men and their agony, sacrifice, and heroism.

Too many acronyms

When will military writers learn that the continual use of acronyms make the story to hard to follow and are not necessasary to convey the meaning the author is trying to get across.
This has the potential to be a good story but the listener gets bogged down with all the acronyms and what they mean.
You need a cheat sheet to follow them.

I wish that it was unabridged version

My one complete about this book, was that it was a heavily abridged version of the book. I look forward to someday finding an unabridged version.
