For those of you who are Viet Nam vets, or who have friends or family who
are, or lost loved ones in that tragic war, this is a riviting account of
one of the deadliest battles, the ambush of Charlie Company 4th Battalion 9th Infantry Regiment of the 25th infantry Division. The webmaster of our site is also the webmaster of the
Unfortunate-Sons website and also fought in this war. He is also a very good
friend of ours. The account of this gruesome battle was written by another
member of 4th Battalion. His name is L.D. James. Read below for a glimpse in to the
incredible talent of L.D. James, and then head straight for the website to
read actual excerpts from the book or hear the authors own voice reading
excerpts! And thank you, for your support.
Go inside the killing zone of one of the most devastating ambushes of the
Vietnam War.
Join 92 American soldiers on a search and destroy mission just outside
Saigon in the weeks following the 1968 Tet Offensive. The mission is
expected to last all day but within eight minutes 49 of those men will be
dead or dying, 28 will lie wounded and the American Army will suffer one of
its worst losses of the Vietnam War.
After years of research, the first complete account of the ambush of Charlie
Company, 4th Battalion 9th Infantry (Manchu) 25th Infantry Division has been
written. Learn how it happened, why it happened, but most of all learn what
it was like for the men who went through it.
Pre-publication excerpts, including recordings read by the author, are
available for downloading and for your comments.
