Beyond Nam Dong

Rear dust jacket notes: "Beyond Nam Dong is the personal story of Medal of Honor recipient Roger H. C. Donlon. As commander of Detachment A-726, United States Army Special forces, Captain Donlon and his twelve-man team successfully defended a small America outpost at Camp Nam Dong, Republic of Vietnam, on July 6, 1964. During five excruciating hours, in an inferno of a desperate night battle, Captain Donlon and his men held off a reinforced battalion of Viet Cong. It was the first time that refular North Vietnamese Army forces joined the Viet cong in anattempt to overrun an American outpost. For his valor at Nam Dong, Captain Donlon became the first American soldier of the Vietnam War to be awarded our nation's highest military decoration...the Medal of Honor."
