Outnumbered 20 to 1

By: William P. Collier Jr.

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Story is a force that transcends ages. Through the development of humankind’s culture, the holy vessel of story has exerted a power that defines generations.

A good story has the ability to entertain; a great story has the ability to inspire. But a story like Outnumbered 20 to 1 possesses the ability to transform.

Now retired, Colonel Bill Collier’s razor-sharp memories of his firsthand experiences in Vietnam, fighting through the brutality, devastation, and desperation, all speak to the nature of that grisly war. And, like many of his fellow soldiers who returned home, he kept many of the stories of his experiences to himself.

However, there is one story that Collier knew had to be shared in his lifetime. This is the story of the Battle of Mo Duc—one of Vietnam’s final high-intensity slugfests leading up to the signing of a peace agreement that would conclude the war.

The Battle of Mo Duc follows then-Major Bill Collier and his team into what he believed was a hopelessly unwinnable situation with all the odds stacked against them. Yet even as they faced their seemingly sure defeat and certain death, Collier and his men persevered to victory through what can only be described as the grace of God Himself.

Outnumbered 20 to 1 is a one-of-a-kind war story and so much more. It’s a recounting of a remarkable life experience that occurs even less frequently than once in a lifetime. Collier’s story is not only a story of perseverance and heroism but of our communion with the divine fabric of existence itself.
