On the Ground
by J. Stryker Meyer
 "Although memories fade with
time, there are some that will immediately jump back into your
consciousness with the hair-trigger of a scent, a sound, and in
the beginning of this second book by CAN recon man Tilt Meyer, a
misty rain over windswept treetops springs such a memory while
listening to his youngest daughter play the piano. Such is the
plunge on which the author takes his reader right from the start
of this action-filled book of the memories of some of CCN’s
recon men as they take the fight right to the North Vietnamese
Army on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

ACROSS THE FENCE
by J.
Stryker Meyer
 "Anyone
interested in the Vietnam War in general, and the secret war in
particular, will appreciate this well-written narrative of a SOG
warrior’s first tour of duty at FOB 1, the Phu Bai launch site
for what would eventually be known as CCN. The author, whose
nickname “Tilt” comes from his days as a youngster playing
pinball machines in Trenton, New Jersey, is an educated, skilled
writer who has taken what others might recite as cold facts and
woven a taut, suspenseful series of episodes from one of the
deadliest years in the history of the Studies and Observation
Group. |
