[8], 357, [3] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Cover has some wear and soiling. Command Sergeant Major William T. Craig retired from the United States Army on November 1, 1976. He served thirteen years in U.S. Army Special Forces units (Green Berets); he was a veteran of the Korean conflict and fought for five years in Laos and Vietnam. His many awards and decorations include the Silver Star, the Purple Heart, the Korean Service Ribbon with bronze campaign star, and the Vietnamese Service Ribbon with nine battle stars. The son of a career enlisted man, Bill Craig was a hard-bitten Korean War veteran and Special Forces brawler. In Vietnam, they called his kind of soldier a snake-eater. Now here is Craig's unvarnished account of a military career that catapulted him to team sergeant, the pinnacle of achievement for a Special Forces operator. It also took him to the trough of anger and despair. For during Tet 1968, his camp at Lang Vei was overrun by NVA. A nearby force of Marines refused to come to the camp's aid--even though the NVA had parked a Soviet tank on Craig's command bunker and the enemy was dropping grenades down the air ducts. The riveting description of the breakout that followed and the raw courage of men fighting to save their comrades is an inspiration for anyone venturing into harm's way.
