The previously unpublished second volume of Nick Brokhausens vivid and riveting memoir of his experiences in MACVSOG in Vietnam.This battlescarred memoir is an excellent tribute to the generation that fought, laughed, and died in Southeast Asia. New York Journal of BooksWhispers in the Tall Grass is the second volume of Nick Brokhausens riveting memoir of his time serving in Recon Teams Habu and Crusader, CNN, part of MACVSOG. These small recon teams, comprising Americans and indigenous Montagnards, conducted some of the most dangerous missions of the war, infiltrating areas controlled by the North Vietnamese in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia.Picking up where We Few left off, Whispers in the Tall Grass opens as the war moves into a new phase. The enemy are using special formations to hunt recon teams and missions are now rarely accomplished without heavy contact. Despite the teams careful prep, losses are mounting. More and more missions are extracted by Bright Lights until eventually classic recon missions are almost impossible, and the teams briefly trial HALO insertion. Finally, as the US prepares to withdraw, the teams undertake backtoback missions directing air strikes and disrupting supply lines to ease the pressure on the ARVN. Broken by the pace, but desperate not to leave the Yards, Brokhausen is ordered to outprocess, his request for extension denied, and is forced to leave his friendshis brothersbehind.Written in the same vivid, immediate style that made We Few a cult classic, Whispers in the Tall Grass follows Habu, Crusader and other teams as they undertake missions in this new, deadlier phase of the war. The narrative veers from hairraising to tragic and back as the teams insert into hot targets, act as Bright Light for stricken teams, and play hard in between missions to diffuse the everrising tension.Brokhausens account brings home the reality and the detail of operating for days within mere meters of the enemy, and movingly convey the bonds that war creates between soldiers.
