A searing novel of the war in Vietnam as seen through the eyes of a daring Long Range Patrol platoon leader. Young and eager to prove himself, Ranger Lieutenant Jim Hollister leads his six-man reconnaissance team on risky missions deep into enemy territory. The special volunteers who make up Long Range Patrols are tasked with setting up ambushes and conducting dangerous night patrols, helicopter insertions behind enemy lines, and fire support in the hottest of fights. Enriched with a memorable cast of characters and thrilling details that only a Vietnam veteran could capture, Long Range Patrol is a powerhouse tale of a band of heroes fighting to keep their brothers alive.
"Must-reading for every Ranger candidate. Highly authentic. Reads like the Ranger bible. Dennis Foley should know. He was a Ranger in Vietnam."
David H. Hackworth
"There are few novels about Vietnam, or any other war for that matter, that you can hand to someone and say, this is the way it was, this is what we were. Dennis Foley has written such a book."
Chris Bunch and Allan Cole, authors of A Reckoning for Kings
