On his first combat assignment, Green Beret medic Alan Cornett accompanied the Vietnamese Rangers on a search-and-destroy mission near Khe Sanh. As part of AK squad, he dressed in enemy uniform and roamed the deadly Central Highlands, capturing high-ranking VC officers in hot firefights and ambushes. It was there, deep in enemy territory, where the smallest mistake meant sudden death, that the Vietnamese fighting men earned his utmost respect and admiration.
While offering rare glimpses of an aspect of the war most of the military and media never saw, Cornett tells the full, gutwrenching story of his Vietnam. He also gives an unsparing view of himself -- telling a no-holds-barred story of an American soldier who made sacrifices far beyond the call of duty...a soldier who, in defiance of the U.S. government, refused to turn his back on the Vietnamese.
