Book Review: Tiger Force

This Book I think I found online while going through some Vietnam phase of buying. I thought it would of been a great read… and it was!

Tiger Force

The Book is Tiger Force written by Michael Sallah & Mitch Weiss. It is a very in depth look at what happened in the Vietnam War by a unit called Tiger Force who were a Platoon of 1st Batallion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. During the War this Platoon (About 50 men) were a Special Force, originally used to get in behind the enemy lines in Vietnam and find out where the VC were hiding. However things changed and commanders changed. They became one of the worst ever offenders of War Crimes by Americans during the Vietnam War. The war was an especially harsh time for a lot of people, however this book is chilling.

To read about the murders and the killings performed by men who were over there to fight was just shocking. I was blown away by this book. It really hits home in the thought of just how different some people can be. To see just how quickly their mindsets changed and how viscious, ruthless and just down right wrong humans can be just shocked me to the bone.

I can’t say that I would not have been any different, but I sure do hope to god that I do not have to go through what they did. A MUST read.
