WHITE WATER RED HOT LEAD: On Board U.S. Navy Swift Boats in Vietnam

2-213380

Discusses the Swift Boat program during the Vietnam War, with 3500 officers and men serving in a fleet of 130 boats with no armor plating. The boats patrolled the coast and rivers of South Vietnam with days of deadly combat, intense firefights, storms, and many other hidden dangers. Follows the six-man crew of PCF 76 were volunteers from all over the US, eager to serve their country in a unique type of duty not seen since the PT boats of WWII. This inexperienced and disparate group of men would meld into a combat team -- a team that formed an unbreakable, lifelong bond.
