BLUECOATS VS. REDSKINS-WHICH SIDE WAS THE CHIEF OF SCOUTS ON?In the embattled Oregon Territory, Christopher Columbus Colt was a wanted man. General O. O. "One-Arm" Howard, commanding the U.S. Cavalry, wanted this legendary scout to guide his forces in his campaign to break the power and take the lands of the proud Nez Percé. A tactical genius, Nez Percé Chief Joseph needed Colt as an ally in this last-ditch face-off. Rich, ruthless Rufus Potter wanted Colt out of his greedy way and six feet under the rich Oregon soil. And only Colt could decide which side to fight on in the most stirring and savage struggle the frontier ever knew...

A novel of the U.S. cavalry... A hero worthy of the finest military fiction TORN BETWEEN DUTY AND HONOR Christopher Columbus Colt, chief of scouts; and nephew of gun-maker Sam Colt was always the best man for the job. His skill with weapons was legendary, his service to the Seventh Cavalry invaluable. But as a friend to the Lakota Sioux and Chief Crazy Horse, Colt's loyalty to the Indians ran dangerously high. At Little Big Horn, by the side of General George Custer, Colt faced the hardest choice of his life: fight for a tyrant against overwhelming odds, or side with the warriors who planned a killing field that would live forever in infamy. Rich with the passion and adventure of real history, this is the roaring saga of frontier military life and of a hero who had to work above the law to uphold justice.

THE SHATTERING TRUE STORY OF THE SPECIAL FORCES COMBAT MISSION INSIDE THE SUPERHIGHWAY OF THE HO CHI MINH TRAIL. THE PLEI TRAP VALLEY: NVA STRONGHOLD. POW BASE CAMP. NEXUS OF THE HO CHI MINH TRAIL. Guarded by Soviet-made tanks, riddled with deep fortifications, commanded by regiments of well-equipped elite enemy troops, the Plei Trap Valley was called the superhighway of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. So confident of its invulnerability to U.S. assault were the North Vietnamese that they housed a major POW camp beneath its jungle canopy. Acclaimed Special Forces chronicler Don Bendell tells his all-combat true story of the battle for Plei Trap in a blizzard of spent shell casings, with rockets screaming overhead and fog banks of enemy gas rolling in. Virtually unchecked even by B-52 carpet bombing, a swollen torrent of supplies and fresh troops poured out of the valley into the Communist war effort... until a strike force spearheaded by a Special Forces airborne assault team and their one hundred Montagnard strikers dropped deep behind NVA lines. Their mission: to keep retreating NVA from escaping into Cambodia and free American POWs from behind the barbed wire of the NVA camp... at any cost. They paid heavily for the right to call Plei Trap the... VALLEY OF TEARS.

The Vietnamese stole their land. The NVA raped their daughters.
