I recently finished Chopper Command by Eric Helm, it's the third book in his Scorpion squad series and it's really good. this series is set in the early stages of the war when the US still tried to figure things out. The books are well written and if you like me have interest in the conflict it's a great read. Sometimes it almost feel like a biography but it is fiction. Stong recommendations and many thanks to #SapereBooks and #Netgalley for giving me this one.
Wow, what a fabulous book. If you like Action Thrillers, then you would love this story. The plot is quite tense, especially since the North Vietnamese seem to be everywhere trying to kill the American soliders. I found myself reading faster and faster through certain sections, wondering what was going to happen. Great entertainment.
Captain Gerber and his men were getting used to the North Vietnamese firing mortars at their camp, luckily they seldom hit anything, however that certainly didn’t mean the green berets in camp were going to put up with it, they just needed to pin point the VC to eliminate them. Even worse was the atrocities the VC were committing on the Vietnamese civilians in their villages. Gerber and his men had learnt there was a Viet Cong Cadre of Propaganda Specialist going from village to village with approximately 100 to 150 VC soldiers to protect them. This was now Gerbers number one target, they would just need to acquire some choppers to locate them. If you enjoy Thrillers, then this is a must read. 5/5 Star Rating.
