Fire Support Base Matterhorn: a fortress carved out of the grey-green mountain jungle. Cold monsoon clouds wreath its mile-high summit, concealing a battery of 105-mm howitzers surrounded by deep bunkers, carefully constructed fields of fire & the 180 marines of Bravo Company. Just three kilometres from Laos & two from North Vietnam, there is no more isolated outpost of America`s increasingly desperate war in Vietnam. Second Lieutenant Waino Mellas, 21 years old & just a few days into his 13-month tour, has barely arrived at Matterhorn before Bravo Company is ordered to abandon their mountain & sent deep in-country in pursuit of a North Vietnamese Army unit of unknown size.

The impregnable mountain fortress they built & then abandoned, without a shot, to the North Vietnamese Army - ...
