The Parrot's Beak: A Viet Nam War Novel
An old French colonial fort hidden in the jungle, a dysfunctional recon platoon, a duplicitous defector, and an Army interrogator with no combat experience: these elements combine for a surprising and hazardous patrol into enemy territory. When a Viet Cong defector told Army linguist SP4 Tom Daley about this previously unknown French fort, and what sounded like Chinese and Russian advisers working there, he knew it was a major intelligence coup. What he didn’t expect was to be ordered to escort the Chieu Hoi defector on a patrol with a Combined Reconnaissance and Intelligence Platoon to find the fort, located somewhere near the section of the Cambodian border known as the Parrot’s Beak. What they discover at the fort is far different than they anticipated, and puts them directly in the cross-hairs of a North Vietnamese Army unit determined to prevent their return to American-held territory.
