The first book I read...

When I was 12 I picked this book up at my neighbor's yardsale. It was the first real novel I ever read and still ranks as one of the best 5 years later. The story follows a group of Vietnam vet, mercenaries, who's base is taken seige by an ex-Viet Cong commander and his troops. The two forces go to battle, creating a little Vietnam right there. The flashbacks can be kind of irritating, because of their length in the wrong places. They paint a very brutal, real, picture of Vietnam. And while the mercs are more along the lines of Steven Segal mercenaries instead of real world "military consultants" the book comes off excellent and would make a great movie.
