This was a good book. It treats LRRP / LRP / Ranger Platoons (Long Range Recon Patrol, Long Range Patrol) during the Vietnam conflict. The author has chosen stories from different units with the intent of honoring those who served their country. I agree with the author, that these brave individuals should be honored and thanked for their service, and not looked down upon because of the government that they served, methods of waging war, and the reasons for being there.

This sequel to Phantom Warriors I is an equally outstanding supplement to "The Ranger Handbook" because it describes in detail a large sampling of real world patrolling in Vietnam. Its value is in reporting the results of various types of missions, plans, rehearsals, and soldier reactions to combat, such that anyone can see the impact on what they've been taught.

An interesting read about the missions of the LRRPS/LRPS patrols during the early days of the Vietnam conflict. I would read the others in the series, but not keep them as I do not think they rate a reread in my opinion.

Excellent account of those who served in Vietnam. "If one goes, we all go; an LRRP never leaves an LRRP behind; once an LRRP, always an LRRP; Rangers lead the way." Page xiv. All the way.
