Six Silent Men : 101st LRP/Rangers - Reynel Martinez - Old timers called it the suicide unti. Whether conducting prisoner snatches, search and destroy missions, or hunting for the enemy's secret base, LRRPs depended on each other 110 percent. Author Reynel Martinez, a 101st LRRP Detachment veteran, takes readers into the lives and battles of these extraordinary men. 

Six Silent Men : 101st LRP/Rangers - Gary A. Linderer - The end of the bloody history of the LRRP detachment of the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division. Each book in this trilogy features a different author who served in the unit. Gary Linderer is the publisher of Behind the Lines, a magazine that specializes in U.S. military special operations. In Vietnam, he earned two Silver Stars, the Bronze Star with V device (for valor), and two Purple Hearts.

Six Silent Men:  101st Rangers ( No 2) - Kenn Miller - In the summer of 1967, the good old days were ending for the hardcore 1st Brigade LRRPs of the 101st Airborne Division. After working on their own in Vietnam for more than two years, they were ordered to join forces with the division once again. Still, they continued the deadly, daring LRRP tradition--unflinchingly facing death every day. Each book in this trilogy features a different author who
served in the unit. Kenn Miller served in Vietnam from 1967-1969. 

Eyes Behind the Lines - Gary A. Linderer - The job of the all-volunteer Rangers was to find the enemy, observe him, or kill him--all the while behind enemy lines, where discovery could mean a quick, violent death. Whether ambushing NVA soldiers or rescuing downed air crews, the Rangers demanded--and got--extraordinary performance from their troops

Eyes of the Eagle - Gary A. Linderer - When Gary Linderer reached Vietnam in 1968, he volunteered for training and duty with the F Company 58th In, the Long Range Patrol Company that was "the Eyes of the Eagle." F Company pulled reconnaisssance missions and ambushes, and Linderer recounts night insertions into enemy territory, patrols against NVA antiaircraft emplacements, and some of the bravest demonstrations of courage underfire that has ever been described.... 

Charlie Rangers - by Don Ericson (Contributor), John L. Rotundo - They were the biggest Ranger company in Vietnam, and the best. For eighteen months, John L. Rotundo and Don Ericson braved the test
of war at its most bloody and most raw, specializing in ambushing the enemy and fighting jungle guerillas using their own tactics. From the undiluted high of a "contact" with the enemy to the anguished mourning of a fallen comrade, they experienced nearly every emotion known to man--most of all, the power and the pride of being the finest on America's front lines. 

Acceptable Loss - Kregg, P.J. Jorgenson - The true-to-life story of a Ranger who volunteered to serve on a Blue Team in the Air Cavalry, racing to the aid of soldiers who faced the same dangers he had barely survived in the jungles of Vietnam. Whether enduring NVA sniper attacks, surviving "friendly" fire, or landing in hot LZs, Jorgenson discovered that in Vietnam you never knew whether you were paranoid or just painfully aware of the possibilities.
