The men of the US Navy's brown-water force played a vital but often overlooked role in the Vietnam War. Known for their black berets and limitless courage, they manoeuvred their aging, makeshift craft along shallow coastal waters and twisting inland waterways to search out the enemy. In this moving tribute to their contributions and sacrifices, Tom Cutler records their dramatic story as only a participant could.
