Having a harrowing conclusion and narrowly escaping death, they are off on their next assignment. It's about WW2 Vietnam a real Vietnam Tragedy with military true events taking place in this covert mission novel that involves our story's WW2 U.S. Spies.After taken a flight on a B-17 to Washington D. C., Commander Toni Nakni meets with General Donovan. Having accepted the General's new mission, the Commander and his team take specialized training in jungle guerrilla warfare and Japanese offense tactics and strategy. After completing their training, Toni has a secret briefing with General Donovan and President Roosevelt. With his recent promotion to Captain, he takes on the responsibility of the President's special emissary to Ho Chi Minh, with the code name, Red Hawk. Their mission is to help the Vietnamese become a country with self-determination and to train Vo Nguyen Giap's ragtag army to fight the Japanese. Seven days later, they arrive at OSS Headquarters in Kunming, China. After they're updated with new intel, they bail out into the blistering heat and torrential rain of Indochina's jungles with two additional team members, Chinese intel combat-trained soldiers. Landing in Tan Trao, they begin to train Giap's army. With the troops now skilled in jungle guerrilla warfare and Japanese tactics and strategy, they take it to the Japanese in two incredible battles. During these encounters, they have fascinating discussions with General Giap, and Ho Chi Minh-a true story stimulated by the OSS Deer Team sent to Indochina.Part of their mission is to hunt down the French assassination team out to assassinate Ho Chi Minh in a cat-and-mouse game as the two teams meet in multiple vicious battles of wits.With the war coming to a close, Captain Nakni received orders from Kunming assigning them the responsibility to take the initial steps for the surrender of the Indochina Japanese 38th Army command-and the release of Allied POW, a story of true events. With characteristic WW2 humor in the military, you'll find the characters are of those men who dealt with death and destruction, and then light up your read with laughter as they exchange wit, wiseass remarks, and retorts, not unlike the brave men of our military today.This history of the U.S. in Vietnam centers on the idea that we humans, when in positions of high responsibility or power carry with it our pride, and ultimately, our denial.
