Description
A POWERFUL PERSPECTIVE ON THE VIETNAM WAR, TOLD THROUGH THE EYES OF SOMEONE WHO LIVED IT.
'An imaginative action story told to perfection.' #1 New York Times bestselling author Clive Cussler
Vietnam, 31 January 1968.
In the midst of the brutal Tet Offensive, three men's lives collide in the chaos of war.
Captain Mark Warren and his crew are "trash haulers," flying critical airlift missions on their C-130 Hercules through enemy territory. When their plane is struck by enemy fire, Warren faces the ultimate test of his leadership, fighting to keep his crew alive while grappling with his own personal turmoil.
Wilson Tanner, a fearless Dust Off pilot flying a Huey, risks everything to rescue the wounded. As he pulls soldiers from the wreckage, Tanner's courage is tested like never before, forcing him to confront the brutal truths of the war and the moral cost it demands of him.
Meanwhile, Colonel Tran Sang Quan, a brilliant yet frustrated officer in the People's Army of Vietnam, battles political maneuvering within his own ranks. As the offensive escalates, Quan's resolve is tested by sabotage from his superiors, who prioritize personal gain over the mission's success. With bloodshed mounting, he must decide how far he is willing to go to secure victory.
As these three men fight not just the enemy, but the corruption and treachery within their own ranks, they must rely on raw courage and unshakable honor to survive the hellish reality of war.
Written by former USAF pilot Richard Herman, who flew F-4s during the Vietnam War, The Trash Haulers is perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler, Frederick Forsyth, Stephen Coonts, L.T. Ryan, Dale Brown, and Larry Bond.
