520 0 _aThe men of the 25th Infantry knew intimately every cruel facet of the war. They bore the brunt of the Tet Offensive. They chased deadly shadows through the Viet Cong's infamous tunnel network. And they suffered the ordeal of jungle warfare. By 1971 their losses were among the highest in the army, with 5,000 men killed and many times that number wounded. In this book the men of the 25th Division describe in their own words the frustration and torment that faced all American combat soldiers in Vietnam
