A Halo For Ho Chi Minh (The Roly Saga's Book 5)

The French High Command have a spy in the very top rank of the Viet Minh Comintern. He is providing valuable, though mostly trivial information to the
French at a not inconsiderable cost. The French don't trust him; however a small gem of information concerning a forthcoming meeting of all the communist parties operating in south east Asia is planned to take place in a ruined Monastery in the Kingdom of Laos, nominal a French protectorate. The High Command hatches a scheme to capture the delegates using the only airborne troops in the country, available to them, I st Company 3rd R.E.I. The problem is the company after the Battle at Phu Tong Hua is little more than platoon strength. They fill the gaps in the ranks with the dregs of the Legion; leaving Roly and Alpha Squad six weeks to forge the reprobates into a credible fighting force.
