About this ebook
The all but fanatical North Vietnamese soldiers and the Viet Cong saw all Americans, especially the Marines, as an enemy who should be killed at every opportunity. Firefights blew up in unexpected places at any moment during the undeclared war. As the young Marines grew quickly into manhood they began to wonder if their best Marine Corps training would be good enough for them to survive?
Even in all the madness of war, there were times of light humor among friends and comrades but always there was the threat that any minute a deathblow could erupt with no warning. Doubts and dreams were shared among the young Marines. Fear became a constant partner and stress was always a faithful companion. They learned to live with a deep in the stomach churning as they fully recognized that each minute could be their last.
When a Marine Recon faced the feared enemy, Dawson and Rooker found themselves in the midst of trying to formulate and carry out a dangerous plan. What really happened may surprise you….it did them.

Herb Moore resides near Orangeburg, twenty-five miles outside the South Carolina capital city of Columbia. Raised in Charleston, South Carolina, Moore moved to his present home in 1978. His interest in writing came early but was not put to practice until he wrote his first book. Moore served in the US Marine Corps from 1961 to 1968. His military service provided a background for him to write his first book, Rows of Corn, a nonfiction account of Marine Corps basic training Moore endured during the hot summer of 1963. It was while promoting his first book that Moore appeared on numerous television talk shows throughout the country, as well as on South Carolina ETV programs for writer forums. Moore states his feelings as, “I really don’t care to talk about me. I’m not too interesting, but I am thrilled to talk about the people I write about. History is full of exciting people with really amazing pasts.” Moore went on to author nonfiction magazine feature articles about interesting people he has met, such as the well-known artist Jim Harrison and internationally famous knife designer Blackie Collins. Moore also wrote feature articles about places, such as the world’s longest black water river, the Edisto River. Moore attended college at the University of South Carolina and Charleston Southern University. He and his wife, Kathy, were high school sweethearts and have two sons, Jeffrey (married to Inna and has two children, Silas and Addie) and Greg (married to Molly and has two children, Isaac and Elijah). Herb states, “Kathy and I live in the country on thirty acres, with horses, dogs, and cats roaming about freely. There is always a fence to mend and never time to do it all, but it’s home, and we love it in the country.”
