Recondo: LRRPs in the 101st Airborne

De: Larry Chambers

Narrado por: Brian Hallas

For firefights in the swamps, ambushes in the jungle, or just facing the enemy dead-on, Recondo trained LRRPs to win.

They will never be able to duplicate the 5th Special Forces Recondo School and the training that gave its grads something they desperately needed - the skills to survive Long Range Patrol missions in the jungle that NVA considered its own. Vietman veteran Larry Chambers vividly describes the grit and courage it took to pass the tough volunteer-only training program in Nha Trang and the harrowing graduation mission to scout out, locate, and out-guerrilla the NVA.

Here is an unforgettable account that follows Chambers and the Rangers every step of the way - from joining, going through Recondo, and finally leading his own team on white-knuckle missions through the deadly jungles of Vietnam.

“I made this book mandatory reading for my Rangers.... We went from the worst platoon in the regiment to the best platoon in six months. In training we'd get to the objective so fast they had to hold us back.” (US Army Master Sergeant H. “Max” Mullen, Ret. 75th Ranger Regiment)

“I made this book mandatory reading for my Rangers.... We went from the worst platoon in the regiment to the best platoon in six months. In training we’d get to the objective so fast they had to hold us back.” (US Army Master Sergeant H. "Max" Mullen Ret. 75th Ranger Regiment)

Another good Vietnam book.

I read the book by Gary Linderer and this book covers some of the same unit's experiences. The only downside is that it is only two hours long, so don't spend a lot of money for it. The reader's voice is also not very good, but it isn't terrible.

a good story

they have great characters with an interesting story. I enjoyed listening to the whole book.

Finally, a good book!

I loved this book because it's a first hand account of a Long Range Patrol soldier in Vietnam. It isn't some liberal writer's third hand account. It isn't a dry overarching history of the Vietnam War. It is the very interesting story of a very interesting job.

A glimpse into a special group of men!

My father was a Recondo trained LRRP who served two tours in Nam and I’ve always wondered what he had went through. This book gave me a good idea of what he had done.

Recondo LRRPs

I liked this book and had read this very story in the three books of Recon called Six Silent Men, which I would recommend Audible to have in their store. They are very very good books as I served in a Recon Co. in Viet Nam.

Every former war story should be read by this guy!

Would read again
Glad I read

Abridged

Would have been nice to know this was abridged. There is nothing explaining that before you buy.

The secret war

Even as I joined the military in the 70’s
I was unaware of the existence of the secret war going on
Rumors is all I ever heard
