Great Book

I grew up with the leader of the incursion and I don't think any of this has had "literary license". In High School, Dev was a wrestler and fierce competitor. He was consistantly demonstrating his leadership abilities. It was in his blood. His Dad and Brother were leaders as well. This book does him justice. He has been and will be missed by all that knew him.

Kregg does it again

I think that this a very god book, a series of short stories about the vietnam war, one or two off them are perhaps " non-confirme-able", but who cares, just as long as it is a good storie. I very much enjoyed the R-R storie to Thailand; revenge is to be enjoyed cold. Also the story about marine SGT Henderson, that died and diden't send chills up and down my spine. Kregg has a way with frases and words, especialy his funny and self-ironic way of decribing himself and his conversion with all those who contributed stories to his book, he is very much the Wiseguy he always describes himself as. I can highly recommend this book to anyone. Keep up the good work !!

MIA Rescue FANTASTIC

This was the 2nd book that I have read written by Mr. Jorgenson. The first was Acceptable loss. One of the best I have ever read. MIA Rescue is just as good but more focused on a particular mission. Mr. Jorgenson's style of writing is very smooth and combines points of view from all soliders involved in this rescue mission. Including his own in a very unique way. From the guys that were wounded, to the troops going in to get them, to the pilots flying through the thick fog, Jorgenson captures the full realm surrounding this very very stressful situation. I would recommend this book to anyone. Mr. Speilberg or Mr. Stone if you are out there. Please look at this book! This story needs to be told on the big screen!

an exciting book!

As I read this story I had to stop every so often to remind myself that this really happened and that these are real people. It is an amazing story and one that will be with me for a long time.

The best book I've ever read-true history of courage.

The book took me back ,to that day ,that will stay with me for the rest of my life.Kregg did a very good job of what really went on that day,June 17,1970.Kregg has a talent of letting the readers experience the sights ,sounds and the smells of the jungles in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.If the readers want to experience the young,raw courage of ground troops during the war, read this book.
