The Untold Story of Vietnam War's True Beginning: A Gripping Tale of Sacrifice and Betrayal
Based on actual historical events and real people, "A War Too Far" is a captivating novel that unveils the real beginning of the Vietnam War and the first American soldiers to fight and die in the jungles of Vietnam. This gut-wrenching tale of the unbreakable bond between brothers-in-arms, bravery beyond reason, and an astonishing betrayal that would alter the world forever, has been praised by readers as a "fantastic read" that they "couldn't put down."
At the center of this story is a skilled and ruthless sniper, a breed apart, who kills to keep America free and his fellow soldiers safe. Silent and invisible, his prey never sees him coming and never hears the bullet that kills them. But this assignment is different - an unknowing chance to prevent a war and save millions of lives. His mission: hunt down Ho Chi Minh, the merciless leader of a rebel army.
The author, in the words of an Amazon reviewer, "really did his homework," creating a fact-based novel that reads like a modern political thriller, full of exciting action and larger-than-life characters.

Another reviewer praised the book, saying, "Captivating read. Could not put down. Tells the story from a fresh perspective."
The story of the elite OSS Deer Team and their daring operation in the mountains of North Vietnam near the end of World War II is a testament to the unbreakable bond between brothers-in-arms and the bravery that knows no bounds. As one Goodreads reviewer put it, "A very well written - fact with feeling - novel about America's first involvement in what was later to become the Vietnam War."
Readers have been unanimous in their praise for this book, with multiple 5-star reviews praising the characters, the historical accuracy, and the overall storytelling. One Amazon reviewer summed it up best, saying, "Awesome book on Vietnam and its early history. Would highly recommend this book."
