A Forgotten Medal of Honor and Bravo Company's War in Vietnam

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is the remarkable account of Medal of Honor recipient Leslie Sabo Jr, whose brave actions in Vietnam and Cambodia were forgotten for over three decades.

There are many broad studies of the Vietnam War, but this work offers an insight into the harrowing experiences of just a small number of men from a single unit, deep in the jungles of Vietnam and Cambodia. Its focus is Leslie Sabo Jr.

Sabo and other replacement soldiers in Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 506th Infantry (Currahees), 101st Airborne Division, were involved in intense, bloody engagements such as the battle for Hill 474 and the Mother's Day Ambush.

Beginning with their deployment at the height of the blistering Tet Offensive, and using military records and interviews with surviving soldiers, Eric Poole recreates the terror of combat amidst the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam.

Company of Heroes tells the incredible story of how Sabo earned his medal, as Bravo Company forged bonds of brotherhood in their daily battle for survival.
