Twelve Days in May by
The pages of this book present the factual story of the 4th Infantry Division Cambodian Incursion in May 1970—not only the role of the 3-506th, but the story behind each of the five other 4th Infantry battalions and their support units--aviation, artillery, medical, engineers, and logistics--who participated in the campaign. The men who fought the battles and faced the enemy gallantly deserve more than being recorded as only numbers and statistics on faded archives pages, or having their names etched for eternity on the Vietnam Wall. Behind these statistics are countless untold stories that bring out the devastation of war in vivid detail and told by those who were there. The 3-506th story (OPCON to the 4th ID at the time), which spearheaded the "Ivy Division" combat assault into Cambodian and fought one of the most intense battles of the operation is but one of these stories. Read what really happened in Binh Tay I. Hardcover with dust jacket = $29.99 Softcover with dust jacket = $19.99 |

Kill Me If You Can, You SOB By CW2 Bobby W. Miller New Edition To Our Book Shelf
Kill Me If You Can, You SOB - is a non-fiction book about the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company at LZ Betty in Phan Thiet, Vietnam that supported the 3d Battalion, 506th Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division. It's a book written by an ordinary soldier about extraordinary soldiers like Lt. Colonel Manuel A. Alves (Black Hawk) and his band of Currahees with the 3-506th (Airborne) Infantry. And men like Chief Warrant Officer Richard Maxwell Arann and Warrant Officer Theodore Vail Thoman with the 192nd Assault Helicopter Company (1968-69). Kill Me If You Can, You SOB is a judicious and penetrating diary of one of America's greatest tragedies--the Vietnam War--and the soldiers who lived and died making it so. While it's illuminating, it's by no means a rah-rah account of the war. This work is a tour de force whose humor and candor is audacious. Simply dealing with the verity of it all makes this possibly one of the best non-fiction works to emerge out of the heartbreak known as the Vietnam War. Warrant Officer Miller served with the 192nd AHC (68-69) he was shot down twice and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal. You can purchase this book here in the Gift Shop/PX while supplies last, or get it and other books by Bob Miller at fine bookstores such as: Target, Barns & Noble, Amazon.com, etc. Clink HERE to visit Bob's Website and to order a copy of his book.

FIRST
MOLE
Author John Barber is
non other than our very own 1Lt. John Barber. Forward
Observer (FO) from Delta Battery, 2nd Bn, 320th FA and spent most of his
time with Charlie Company, 3-506th in 1967/68
"This book is the first installment of the Mole Trilogy. Readers are taken to the most dangerous zones of Vietnam as they follow one man’s exploits in First Mole. Captain John Baker aka The Mole has put himself in danger. After deploying himself to operate alone as a forward observer, he has been the target of all the local Vietcong units. The attention to detail of all his movements is very critical to his continued existence. A young man in his twenties, Baker has with him a good record of commendable achievements while in the military. He has exterminated a good number of Vietcong units with his artillery and kept almost all of his allied units from running into ambushes during the last six months. He got his nickname not by the many impressive feats he has but by his habit of digging a six-foot-long foxhole shelter to sleep in every night, and of course, his cunning and alertness even in the dark. Now, all by himself in his chosen special mission, Capt. Baker believes what he is risking his life for will atone his shame and guilt from a “friendly fire” incident that resulted in the deaths of two of his soldiers. Amid threats, traps, and espionage, he takes on the challenge only to discover that what appears to be a highly complicated task is just in fact the beginning of a more tumultuous ride. Propelled with humor, action, and romance, First Mole will leave readers entertained from the first to the very last page.
