No Greater Love: A Day with the Mobile Guerilla Forde in Vietnam

Many Vietnam veterans have expressed outrage at the portrayal of American combat soldiers in movies such as Platoon and Full Metal Jacket and in a number of books describing the politics, destruction, and psychological effects of traumatic experiences during this nation's most unpopular and controversial war. An often neglected dimension of the Vietnam veteran's experience is the quiet camaraderie and self-sacrificing love among men under fire. This aspect is revealed in No Greater Love.
Donahue, a U.S. Army Special Forces Medic, shares a true story of one day's battle when he and seven other Green Berets, along with their company of Cambodian volunteers, were pinned down in the steaming jungle by Viet-Cong guerrillas and Main Force units. Low on ammunition and out of luck, they scan the skies in a desperate search for reinforcements. Outnumbered and outgunned, they were forced to break out of the encirclement.
No Greater Love is an action-packed chronicle of a mission code-named "Blackjack 34." It is not a rehash of senseless brutality, unit infighting, or drug-addicted soldiers, but a moving account of brothers in arms who served, and died, side by side. Here is a Vietnam story which needs to be told.
This is the first full length book about the Mobile Guerrilla Force and the first book by a Special Forces medic. To place the reader in the middle of the action, Donahue includes more than 60 photographs and 3 maps.
