About this audiobook
Not many historic events have had such a strong impact on the way we see and live our nation’s values as the Vietnam War.
Entering the conflict to defend democracy and fight against the communists, countless Americans departed towards the unknown in the mid-60s.
One of these units of brave men was the 173rd Airborne Brigade, better known as the “Sky Soldiers,” or simply as “the Herd.”
During their six years in Vietnam, they fought relentlessly against the communist forces.
This book tells the story of their involvement during the early years of the war and pays tribute to the great accomplishments they achieved during that time to prevent the collapse of democracy in Vietnam.
