Outposting was a common mission for the infantrymen of Triple Deuce; first they guarded the Army engineers who used their metal detectors to find land mines on the Main Supply Route, and then they set up outposts along the MSR to provide security for the supply convoys. The duty was usually safe and boring. Until it wasn’t. Sergeant Frank Harris, the new squad leader in Third Platoon, Charlie Company, was dealing with the usual problems of leadership, along with romantic problems on the home front, when the outposts started to become targets. While the Tet Offensive raged in the cities of South Viet Nam, Harris’s platoon was dealing with local Viet Cong guerillas who were disrupting the supply lines of the American soldiers in the outlying districts. When sudden changes in platoon leadership further complicated things, Harris had to rise to the occasion. The outposts were under attack, but who was the enemy? This fast-paced and explosive novel explores the daily dangers of mechanized infantry in Viet Nam and an elusive enemy who could be anybody.
