A U.S. military Intelligence officer discovers the enemy has a stronghold deep inside Nui Ba Den, the Black Virgin Mountain. Inside is an extensive subterranean network of tunnels and caves being used by the NVA to store equipment and weapons.
U.S. Army Special Forces Captain Mack Gerber and Master Sergeant Anthony B. Fetterman are dispatched to Nui Ba Den to destroy the NVA base.
Meanwhile, an American delegation reviewing the recent Tet offensive heads into the combat zone to inspect the Special Forces camps around Nui Ba Den – where a deadly enemy ambush awaits them.

I enjoyed reading STRIKE by Eric Helm - the 3rd book in the series. In this book, the author writes along four different storylines: The senator and his group who want to discredit the military and vows to prove that NV was victorious during the TET offensive, the NVA lieutenant, newly arrived from the North and content in staying in the caves, the American lieutenant who is confident about the build-up outside of Nui Ba Den, deciding to take it upon himself to prove it, and Capt. Gerber / SFC Fetterman who try to prevent a disaster.
I was with the 25th Division after TET and the Black Virgin Mountain was always predominantly seen anywhere within our area of operations. At that time, it was said that the mountain is so honeycombed with tunnels and caves that a large bomb in a specific place would collapse it all into a pile of dirt.
The author does a wonderful job at telling each of the four stories and then having them all come together at the end...each to its own fate. The story is a real page-turner and worth reading. This is the 3rd book of the 5-book series, and I enjoyed each of them so far. Book 4 is now downloaded and ready to continue the saga. Recommended for anyone interested in the Vietnam War and special operations during the war.

Strike
Third book in the series, full of action with interesting characters. It is sad to see how the politicians lost the war. The soldiers won the battles and Washington lost the war. Reading curt name war stories it is always nice to see the professional soldier at his finest. Can't wait to read number four.

As the world turns the news is distorted to protect the rich, the officers, the politicians. Vietnam was a gross waste of human lives, especially the lives of the US men and women who died for nothing, just plain old BS.
Rock on!

Great read!!
A real page turner, and very realistic. The author did some rear research prior to writing it. And I found NO typos.

The story did not have an overly interesting plot to it,certainly not a page turner "have to see what's going on" type of book. The battle sequences were decent enough reading particularly when describing it from the NVA side. The epilogue was interesting. I may read more of the series but not in a hurry.
