Pathfinder: First In, Last Out

A nonstop-action combat memoir by a veteran of the elite Pathfinders, who led the way for U.S. Army troops into battle in Vietnam, and helped get them safely back. In Vietnam, Richard Burns operated in live-or-die situations, risking his life so that other men could keep theirs. As a Pathfinder he guided in helicopters disembarking troops, directed medevacs to retrieve the wounded, and organized extractions...often under heavy enemy fire.
