“Must-reading for every Ranger candidate. Highly authentic. Reads like the Ranger bible. Dennis Foley should know. He was a Ranger in Vietnam.” —David H. Hackworth “There are few novels about Vietnam, or any other war for that matter, that you can hand to someone and say, this is the way it was, this is what we were. Dennis Foley has written such a book.” —Chris Bunch and Allan Cole, authors of A Reckoning for Kings “A work of pungent observation, of raw and shocking essence . . . Written with an earnestness as searing as a tracer round . . . When I finished reading Long Range Patrol, I felt due and ready for R and R. This man puts combat boots on you!” —Stirling Silliphant
