{"product_id":"abandoned-in-hell-the-fight-for-vietnams-firebase-kate","title":"Abandoned in Hell: The Fight For Vietnam's Firebase Kate","description":"An astonishing memoir of military courage at a remote outpost during the Vietnam War\n\n“A riveting, dead-true account in the tradition of Black Hawk Down and We Were Soldiers Once...and Young.”—Steven Pressfield, national bestselling author of The Lion’s Gate\n\nIn October 1969, William Albracht, the youngest Green Beret captain in Vietnam, took command of a remote hilltop outpost called Firebase Kate held by only 27 American soldiers and 156 Montagnard militiamen. At dawn the next morning, three North Vietnamese Army regiments—some six thousand men—crossed the Cambodian border and attacked.\n\nOutnumbered three dozen to one, Albracht’s men held off the assault but, after five days, Kate’s defenders were out of ammo and water. Refusing to die or surrender, Albracht led his troops off the hill and on a daring night march through enemy lines.\n\nAbandoned in Hell is an astonishing memoir of leadership, sacrifice, and brutal violence, a riveting journey into Vietnam’s heart of darkness, and a compelling reminder of the transformational power of individual heroism. Not since Lone Survivor and We Were Soldiers Once...and Young has there been such a gripping and authentic account of battlefield courage.\n\nINCLUDES PHOTOS\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0451468090\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0451468090.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Albracht, William|Wolf, Marvin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
