Book Preview: #1 The wind howled through the caves of western Tennessee, meeting the icy blasts flowing through the Cumberland Valley and the Land between the Lakes. Fort Campbell was not a pleasant place in the wintertime.#2 Special Forces teams were heavily armed for their small size. They had AT-4 anti-tank weapons strapped to the roof edges, and each man had his M4 rifle, 9-mm pistol, and grenades. They were the pinnacle of Randy's life, and he was having a hard time assimilating the fact that this might be the last war he would fight on the frontlines.#3 The Special Forces' low-rise complex, clustered around the parade ground just off Bastogne Avenue, was the oldest on the entire base. The Special Forces were proud of their make-do philosophy, but they were also the unloved stepchild at Fort Campbell.#4 The team went to see the battalion commander, Colonel Conner, to get advice on how to prepare for their mission. They had read the after-action reports of the Gulf War, but nothing could prepare them better than the firsthand ground truth of one who had been there.
