Steel My Soldiers' Hearts Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Steel My Soldiers' Hearts


Col. David Hackworth wrote the Army's counterguerilla-fighting handbook for the war in Vietnam. For his second tour he is given command of the 4/39th, a poorly trained battalion with a high casualty rate that is considered the worst fighting force in Vietnam at the time. Col.

The unit is completely transformed into the Hardcore Recondos and beats the enemy at their own tactics through ambuses, sniper missions, and heliocopter attacks..
