Flashing Saber: Three Years in Vietnam

"The division's expendables." That's what one division commander called the 1/9thÂ Cavalry Blue platoons during the Vietnam War. The Blues, as they were called, were perpetually understrength and considered to be acceptable losses in hopeless situations--but their amazingly successful record proved otherwise.

Flashing Saber is memoir aboutÂ mortal combat with theÂ First Air Cavalry Division's reconnaissance squadron. Included isÂ the account of an air-ground raid thatÂ killed more high-ranking enemy officers than any similar engagement of the war: a full colonel, four majors and four senior captains.Â

An expansion and careful reworking of his previous work, Brennan's War, published in 1985, and in the vein of classic memoirs by Johnnie Clark and Frederick Downs, the bookÂ is a harrowing firsthand account of life and death in war.
