Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-03 00:00:00 John Deane Really enjoyed this intimate look at Ranger, LRP, and LRRP missions during Vietnam. Linderer did an excellent job of taking the veteran interviews and weaving a coherent story for each mission/group featured rather than just quoting the veterans directly. I feel that Linderer is qualified to handle this sort of unique approach to writing as he himself was both a LRP and Ranger during Vietnam, and that experience shows.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-01 00:00:00 Legend Killer This is the perfect companion book to the Ranger Handbook. It clearly uses ranger language and tactics (for continuity) but most importantly gives real world stories of what can happen when on patrol. That experience provides food for thought when planning, especially considering the consequences of REMFs making ill-advised decisions adversely affecting the patrols. This is also a good history of LRRPs, LRPs, and rangers in Vietnam. A few sketch maps would have been nice but their lack did not detract from the value of this book.
