Cyclops in the Jungle : A One-Eyed Lrp in Vietnam (Stackpole Military History Series)

Dave Walker enlisted in the U.S. Army at seventeen, full of patriotism and eager to play his part in Vietnam. Trained for long-range patrol (LRP) operations, he received a debilitating shrapnel wound to his eye barely a month after arriving in Vietnam. Medically discharged and sent home to a country he decreasingly recognised, Walker, now missing an eye, manoeuvred his way back to the jungles of Vietnam, where he survived another eighteen months conducting patrols and special operations with an elite Ranger unit. About the Author Staff Sergeant David P. Walker spent ten years in the U.S. Army with Airborne, LRP, Ranger, and Infantry units.
