This is a book about survival. It is about a 21 year old Army Scout pilot shot down during the Vietnam War on a Scout mission inside enemy held territory in Cambodian. He along with his two crew members were shot down, he alone survived.

In April of 1966, the soldiers of Company C walked into an ambush and were systematically slaughtered by a VC battalion near the village of Xa Cam My. "Particular Bravery" tells the story of that jungle horror through the eyes of survivors.

It is the story about the U.S. military’s 600 m.o.l. – Black helicopter pilots who experienced combat duty in Vietnam, some making the ultimate sacrifice of giving their lives, and who certainly have a place in U.S. history.

The Vietnam War was a watershed moment in American history, and the role it played in the Cold War is as little understood today, as when the war ended fifty years ago. So, it is now timely to take an in-depth look at that Cold War role.
