Description
"Dave Walker enlisted in the U.S. Army at seventeen, full of patriotism and eager to play his part in Vietnam. Trained for long-range patrol (LPR) operations, he received a debilitating shrapnel wound to his eye barely a month after arriving in Vietnam. Medically discharged and sent home ... Walker -- now missing an eye -- maneuvered his way back to the jungles of Vietnam, where he survived another eighteen months conducting patrols and special operations with an elite Ranger unit"--Page 4 of cover.
