Green Beret medic Alan Cornett arrived in vietnam in 1966 and spent nearly a decade there, immersed in the country's culture and it's people. What he experienced "going native" would change his life forever... On his first combat assignment, Corbett accompanied the Vietnamese Rangers on a search-and-destroy mission near Khe Sanh. There he earned entree into a culture that he would ultimately respect greatly and admire deeply. Cornett's most challenging military duty began when he joined the Phoenix Program. As part of AK squad, he dressed in enemy uniform and raomed the deadly Central Highlands, capturing high-ranking VC officers in hot firefights and ambushes. It was there, deep in enemy territory, where the smallest mistake meant sudden death, that the Vietnamese fighting men earned his utmost respect. While offering rare glimpses of an aspect of the war most of the military and media never saw, Cornett tells the full, gut wrenching story of his Vietnam. He also gives an unsparing view of himself-telling a no-holds barred story of an American soldier who made sacrifices far beyond the call of duty...a soldier who, in defiance of the U.S. government , refused to turn his back on the Vietnamese.
