Summary: Another great book by Kregg Jorgenson
Comment: Stalking the dragon is a great book, Kregg Jorgenson has put his knowledge and insides on the vietnam war into a very interresting fiction book about a speciel forces mission into
North vietnam.
Their mission among other things is to go after "uncle Ho" the leader of North vietnam
The story in it self is first of all very amusing, Kregg uses his
well know humor and witt in this books and it had me laughing
so much I almost feel out of my chair several times, the part about the "pork-loving" head of the North vietnamese secret service made me laugh so much I almost wet myself.
The Story is about a Quebec 71 ( army information specialist) named Mike Butler, (who I think is based losely around himself since Kregg Jorgenson also have a background as an army Journalist) who suddenly gets himself " voulentered" for a mission deep into North vietnam together with a SF SOG team
The best thing about this book is that it is fiction written by a writer who had a huge amount af knowledge
about the vietnam war, that is the reason that this book is such a good read, you don't have to sit and think about all the details, you know its all correct.
Another good thing about this books is that one could say after reading it; "hmmmm this could have happend for real", I like that in a fiction book.
So...go buy this book, no matter what you cannot loose out
Kregg Jorgenson has done it again

Summary: A Day In The Life
Comment: From Kragg Jorgenson's other books I know that he was an enlisted man in the army in the Vietnam War. I was also an enlisted man from that war. His book, Stalking the Dragon, catches perfectly the enlisted man's attitude and disposition while serving over there. His main character, Michael Butler was like any other enlistee, just trying to get through his 365 without causing too many waves and at the same time trying to make his time as comfortable as possible. But, because officers are officers, they couldn't stand to see someone of such low rank get something that they weren't, he becomes their sacrificial goat. From here they make him jump to their tune or pay the consequences. As the story progresses Butler finds himself in situations that he couldn't possibly have imagined on the day he raised his right hand and took the oath. I liked this book very much. It kept my interest throughout. There were times I wanted to race ahead to find out how a problem turned out because the suspense was so intense althouge I never did. I laughed several times from knowing how Butler felt in certain situations. If you were ever in the service you would enjoy Stalking the Dragon. If you were in during the Vietnam era you would enjoy it even more. Jorgenson is a good story teller. Like many people who have been in difficult situations, he adds humor to make it more bearable. Buy it, you'll like it.

Summary: Stalking the Dragon
Comment: You are taken on a trip into the surreal as the author opens a pandora's box of "what ifs". Jorgenson descibes a fictional mission behind enemy lines during the Vietnam War in which the best laid plans are laid to waste. It's very fast paced, silly, shocking, humorous and genuine. Filled with surprises and insight borne of actual experience with the absurdities of war.
