In 1969, Colonel David H. Hackworth took command of a demoralized infantry battalion in Vietnam suffering from the Army's highest casualty rate. He implemented unorthodox counter-guerrilla tactics to transform the unit into the elite 'Hardcore Recondos.' This memoir chronicles his leadership strategies and the brutal realities of combat in the Mekong Delta.
