An astonishing memoir of military courage at a remote outpost during the Vietnam Warincludes a foreword by Joseph L. Galloway, bestselling coauthor of
In October 1969, William Albracht, the youngest Green Beret captain in Vietnam, took command of a remote hilltop outpost called Firebase Kate held by only 27 American soldiers and 156 Montagnard militiamen. At dawn the next morning, three North Vietnamese Army regimentssome six thousand mencrossed the Cambodian border and attacked.
Outnumbered three dozen to one, Albrachts men held off the assault but, after five days, Kates defenders were out of ammo and water. Refusing to die or surrender, Albracht led his troops off the hill and on a daring night march through enemy lines.
is an astonishing memoir of leadership, sacrifice, and brutal violence, a riveting journey into Vietnams heart of darkness, and a compelling reminder of the transformational power of individual heroism. Not since and has there been such a gripping and authentic account of battlefield courage.
