The Walking Dead: A Marine’s Story of Vietnam

In July 1965, Pfc. Craig Roberts crossed the Da Nang River with the 9th Marines – into the heart of a jungle alive with savage Viet Cong. Eight months later his unit would be called…The Walking Dead. In constant danger, they flushed the enemy from tunnels and rat traps; defused lethal mines, punji pits, and trip wires; and scored countless hits in ambushes, sweeps, and all-out firefights. From booby-trapped villages to battles at Cam Ne, Le son, the Phong Le Bridge, and in “Operations Starlight,” they shared incredible risks, comradeship, and pride. Now Roberts tells the gripping tale of their war.
