BLOOD IN THE HILLS is a powerful tale, vivid, remarkably emotional, and spellbinding. The sacrifices of the American fighting man during the Vietnam War will long be remembered and has not gone unnoticed. -- Chimp Robertson, author of POW/MIA: AMERICA'S MISSING MEN Honest. Gritty. Intense. BLOOD IN THE HILLS illuminates the raw experience that Marines endured at Khe Sanh in 1967.
