Gary Linderer is the publisher of Behind the Lines, a magazine that specializes in US military special operations. He served in Vietnam with the LRPs of the 101st Airborne Division, earning two Silver Stars, the Bronze Star with V device (for valor), the Army Commendation Medal with V device, and two Purple Hearts. In the 101st Airborne, if you cared enough to send the very best, you sent The Howlers. Gary Linderer volunteered for the Army, then volunteered for Airborne training. When he reached Vietnam in 1968, he was assigned to the famous "Screaming Eagles," the 101st Airborne Division. Once there, he volunteered for training and duty with L Company 58th Inf, the Long Range Patrol company that was "the Eyes of the Eagle." L Company pulled reconnaissance missions and ambushes, and Linderer recounts night insertions into enemy territory, patrols against NVA antiaircraft emplacements and rocket-launching facilities, the fragging of an unpopular company commander, and one of the bravest demonstrations of courage under fire that has ever been described. The Eyes of the Eagle is an accurate, exciting look at the recon soldier's war. There are none better. In mid-December 1968, after recovering from wounds sustained in a mission that saw four members of twelve-man "heavy" team killed and five more sent back to the States, Gary Linderer returned to Phu Bai to complete his tour of duty as a LRP. The job of the all-volunteer Rangers was to find the enemy, observe him, or kill him--all the while behind enemy lines, where discovery could mean a quick but violent death. Whether inserting into hot LZs, ambushing NVA soldiers, or rescuing downed air crews, the Rangers demanded--and got--extraordinary performance from their dedicated and highly professional troops., Ivy Books, 1992, 2.5<
