Cover Notes
The True Story of Combat Tracker Teams of the Vietnam War
Five men, one Labrador retriever - trained by the world's best to find the "Elusive Enemy" in the jungles of Vietnam
Seek On! is the true story of the young Americans who volunteered to become the first response to finding the elusive fleeing terrorists and NVA who were waging asymmetric warfare in Southeast Asia.
The teams were trained at the Jungle Warfare School in Malaysia initially, and took that superb training to the fight. They were able to find and fix the enemy; gather intel and retrieve friendlies from the grip of the enemy. These are their stories - not the only "official papers." Learn what they went through as their NZ SAS trainers "treated" them to the same training as they had received! When "in-country," read what it was like juggling their survival between the enemy and their own support, so they didn't get ambushed between them! Imagine what they felt as a K9 became a complete member of their team!
After their deployments working as a single entity," they were separated and told that "this never happened." There were no ceremonies; many had no access to necessary documents for the VA; medals were unavailable that were won. Most of all, they lost each other - men who were closer than brothers. That has been rectified. This is their story, and that of their Labs and instructors and crazy days and nights when the clock still ticked. SEEK ON!
Reviews
James (Webamster BSW) rated this book Excellent
An excellent read covering a less-well known but fascinating topic of the Vietnam war, well worth a the time spent on its' research and a valuable addition to any library. Delivering a detailed account of the trackers training and experiences in Vietnam in a compact format and matching them to the experiences of trying to locate former tracker and arrange the reunion, despite official denials of their service and sacrifice. For anyone interested in the topic, a must read.
