Alone in the Valley

Alone in the Valley is the true story of a young college dropout in 1968 who decided to join the U.S. Army Special Forces, the Green Berets. It takes you through his training from start to finish without hype, exposing the good and the bad. The book provides an unvarnished observation of what was happening in America during that period. With the war winding down Special Forces soldiers were confronted with a mission that at that time seemed futile. Sergeant Lanigan found himself thrust into an environment in which he was unprepared for but had no choice other than to meet the challenge. This is a story of a young man’s journey in war, from boy to man, his loss of innocence, and the transformation of how he would view events and people for the rest of his life. Revised Copy
