This work takes place during the bloodiest years of the Vietnam War, when the author served as a Marine scout with 1st Force Recon, one of the most secretive and elite combat units ever to operate in Vietnam. Dropped deep into enemy held territory, Force Recon Marines relied on stealth, surprise, and their training to complete their missions. They were truly the ghosts of the jungle. The "Tales" here are a gritty mix of deadly firefights, prisoner "snatches", parachute jumps, punji pits, tiger attacks, and even a murder! The book follows the transformation of the author as he first arrives in Nam as an idealistic young man determined to serve his country, into a cynical combat hardened bush Marine whose perspective of the war changed as friends were lost and the missions became ever more dangerous.
