On the Ground the Secret War in Vietnam

On the Ground the Secret War in Vietnam [Hardcover]
John Stryker Meyer, John E Peters

After reading John’s second book, “Across the Fence” a follow-up to “On the Ground”, I had to read this one also. This one is very similar and is also about secret missions in Laos and Vietnam. Meyer and Peters tell it as it happened, no nonsense and no frills, and a fair portion of this book, contains the stories of other warriors such as Eldon Bargewell and Jim Lamotte. They go into detail about the sapper attack on FOB 4 Dah Nag on August 23, 1968, more so than any other book I have read. The author's treatment of these situations strikes me as very objective. Mr. Meyer's personal accounts are unembellished, and he tells it as he experienced it, without undue introspection as with some combat autobiographies. To Mr. Meyer and Mr. Peters- thank you for service, bravery, sacrifices, and for sharing your experiences with another generation. I give both of these books five stars. You won’t be able to put it down!
