About this listen

(Revised version)

If you want to know how the Headhunters’ fearless commitment shaped some of the most important battles during the Vietnam War, keep reading.


The Vietnam War may have happened half a century ago, but its impact on America and the world has never vanished. Thousands of US soldiers, pilots, marines, and other military personnel made their way to Vietnam to defend our values and protect the free world.

Amongst them was a group of men, later to be known as “The Headhunters,” that quickly made a name for themselves as one of the most courageous and determined units in the American military.

In this book, you will discover:
  • The Headhunters in Vietnam - the surprising ways in which the 1st of the 9th revolutionized warfare
  • Platoons and troops: how the structure within the unit impacted the success of the whole battalion
  • The Battle of Ia Drang: the first major military clash between the US and the Vietcong
  • America succeeds: how Operation Masher/White Wing launched the art of the helicopter war
  • The 77-day fight of Khe Sanh and its crucial consequences for the following war events
  • The shocking ways in which the Tet Offensive and the Battle of Quang Tri showed the recklessness of the enemy - and the resilience of the US army
  • Famous leaders and members of the 1st of the 9th: honoring outstanding personalities of the Headhunters
  • Citations and honors: remembering the Headhunters and their countless achievements
And much more.

While there are many critical voices and controversial opinions about the Vietnam War, it is of utmost importance to remember and honor the sacrifices these men have made, never forgetting our proud nation's great accomplishments.
