Force Recon Command: A Special Marine Unit in Vietnam, 1969-1970 (Naval Institute Special Warfare Series)

Author Alex Lee commanded the Third Force Reconnaissance Company in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970. Made up of small units of specially trained U.S. Marines, that company conducted long-range patrols deep in Northern I Corps - including the infamous Ashau Valley - to gather intelligence about the North Vietnamese Army. An intelligent, effective operator who led by example, Lee was also brash and excruciatingly honest, and in this controversial, no-holds-barred account, he takes the wraps off this select group of courageous and intrepid Marines.Alex Lee is the author of 'Force Recon Command: A Special Marine Unit in Vietnam, 1969-1970 (Naval Institute Special Warfare Series)', published 1995 under ISBN 9781557505132 and ISBN 1557505136.
