We Few

US Special Forces in Vietnam

By: Nick Brokhausen

Narrated by: George Spelvin

A Green Beret's gripping memoir of American Special Forces in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.   

In 1970, on his second tour to Vietnam, Nick Brokhausen served in Recon Team Habu, CCN. Officially, it was known as the Studies and Observations group. In fact, this Special Forces squad, which Brokhausen calls "an unwashed, profane, ribald, joyously alive fraternity", undertook some of the most dangerous and suicidal reconnaissance missions ever in the enemy-controlled territory of Cambodia and Laos. 

But they didn't infiltrate the jungles alone. They fought alongside the Montagnards - oppressed minorities from the mountain highlands, trained by the US military in guerrilla tactics, armed, accustomed to the wild, and fully engaged in a war against the North Vietnamese. 

Together, this small unit formed the backbone of ground reconnaissance in the Republic of Vietnam, racking up medals for valor - but at a terrible cost.

Excellent action, very funny

Reminds me of my top ‘Nam book Go to Go by Harry Constance. Tons of bloody action, jokes, pranks, and serious notes about lives lost. I loved it and I read every enlisted war memoir that comes out.

Awesome for vets

As a former Marine some thing or other this book was an awesome listen! Definitely not for someone with PTSD issues or a sensitive civilian.

Great book

Cookie was my first team SGT and you captured him perfectly.

He has a picture of you in the German helmet on Monkey Mountain.

Thanks

great listen

excellent book, he didn't try to church it up and make himself some symbolic do no harm hero

Fantastic book — Best in a long time

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother

I'm not quite sure how the author could make such serious stuff so funny.
A wonderful, laugh out loud book. Highly recommended.
