Summary

"The Last Stand of Fox Company is a fast-paced account of courage and self-sacrifice in the face of impossible odds. The authors have conducted dozens of interviews with the survivors of the episode (which ultimately produced three Medal of Honor recipients), and they narrate the story with the immediacy of classic accounts of a single battle such as Guadalcanal Diary, Pork Chop Hill, and Black Hawk Down. This book is must reading for anyone who wants to experience the heart-pounding action, suspense, and heroism of "one of the most extraordinary battles in Marine Corps history"."--BOOK JACKET.
