SynopsisGhost Warriors takes you into the jungles of Vietnam in late 1967 to accompany the brave men of E-Company's twenty-eight Long Range Patrol teams, later re-designated as Army Rangers. While 2,600,000 U.S. military served in Vietnam, only 5,300 saw action as Army Long Range Patrol, Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol, or Rangers. No forces in Vietnam had more close-up enemy contact. Accompany teenage paratroopers as they are inserted by helicopter, Navy boats, or parachute into triple-canopy jungle, and then rely on their survival and fighting skills to provide reconnaissance for the U.S. Army's 1st Field Force. Experience the air war from the perspectives of a helicopter gunship commander and a fixed-wing pilot. Join the Ghost Warriors as they participate in a night combat jump, train with Marine Force Recon, and go on a dangerous mission to recover a top-secret scope. Discover how some of the intelligence they gathered could have minimized the impact of the enemy's Tet Offensive. Enjoy light-hearted moments, too, as humor and goofing around helps the guys cope with three grim realities of war-danger, destruction, and death.Ghost Warriors also covers stories from the home front. Take a glimpse into the hearts and minds of wives, sweethearts, and family members left in the States to cope with concern for their soldier's well-being, insufficient Army pay, job discrimination, and the prevalent public disdain for the war (and by association, their loved one in 'Nam).One Ghost Warrior, James Worth, says, "I look back at the Vietnam War with plenty of mixed feelings, but on one thing there can be no doubt. I got to fight with the best soldiers of the Vietnam War, the baddest-ass do-anything guys you could imagine. It's a great honor just to be with them, to be one one of them. I served with the best warriors America put out in that war; they were tough, dedicated fighters who were not afraid to take on the enemy's A-Team. . . . These were the epitome of paratroopers taking the war to the enemy and shoving it down their throats. Take that, motherfuckers! The U.S. Airborne was here!"
