We Few: US Special Forces in Vietnam Free Audiobook Download by Nick Brokhausen

In the US Special Forces in Vietnam, George Spelvin leads his team on a mission to find a missing soldier and take out an enemy base. During their time in Vietnam, they experience brutal combat, worry about the fate of their fallen comrades and work to help their country end the war.

In 1966, the United States began a new approach to help South Vietnam in their war against the North. They began sending elite Special Forces teams called "Spec For" to support South Vietnamese fighting units. The goal was to make sure that any North Vietnamese troops found were eliminated. This broad term covered more than just air raids, however. Spec For teams would infiltrate the south to gather intelligence and train local troops in advanced tactics, which they could then use on future missions.

Many young men get their start in the military. George Spelvin was one of those men. He joined the army after college and after serving a year he volunteered to be sent on a mission with U.S. Special Forces in Vietnam in 1959. This was during the war, which was going badly for the United States at the time. In his narration, Spelvin talks about what it's like to enter a village and hear the sounds of children playing outside as well as adults trading goods and information about their lives. In addition to living with other soldiers, Spelvin had to sleep in tents, wear extremely uncomfortable clothes, and eat poorly prepared food.

This new book about the Vietnam War is for anyone who is interested in knowing more about it, even if they are not historians or scholars. This book does a good job of introducing and explaining what US Special Forces were doing during the war. It also explains why they worked in Southeast Asia and how they contributed to defeating the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. The author uses his own family's personal experience in order to provide insight into what this group of soldiers experienced while fighting in South Vietnam.

In 1969, the United States Special Forces received a new mission in Vietnam. It was called Operation Cobalt Blue, a code name for their covert operations that were designed to help the South Vietnamese government fight against the North Vietnamese Army. The Americans trained and supplied the South Vietnamese with weapons, ammunition, and intelligence while they simultaneously captured and killed members of the North Vietnamese Army.
