PFC Franklin Miller arrived in Vietnam in March 1966, and saw his first combat in a Reconnaissance Platoon. So began an odyssey that would make him into one of the most feared and respected men in the Special Forces elite, who made their own rules in the chaos of war.

In the exclusive world of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, Studies and Observation Group, Miller ran missions deep into enemy territory to gather intelligence, snatch prisoners, and to kill. Leading small bands of battle-hardened Montagnard and Meo tribesmen, he was fierce and fearless -- fighting army policy to stay in combat for six tours. On a top-secret mission in 1970, Miller and a handful of men, all critically injured, held off the NVA in an incredible Alamo-like stand -- for which he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. When his time in Southeast Asia ended, he had also received the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, an Air Medal, and six Purple Hearts. This is his incredible story.

My mom worked with Frank Miller after he was out a long time later, if memory serves it was like 2000 or so (i forget when he died) but they worked together at the VA medical center in St. Pete beach in Florida. I met him on several occasions and man... I was stuck by his commanding presence. He was a huge dude (tall) and loud and so charismatic. At the time I was probably 17 and didn't care about (or know about his accomplishments) though I was involved in the moving wall in the area every year. It was only later that I read his book and honestly wished nothing more than to have benefited from actually spending some personal time with him and getting to know him that I had my first regret. This is honestly the best war time book I've read and that said my entire family is military. This book kept me entertained the entire time with his humor and wit. Later in the book as the end of his career came about I just found myself completely just mesmerized and I couldn't put the book down. I think actually I got wrapped up in that last story when he got the MOH and I actually missed some work. Please buy this book!!!

I met Doug Miller in 1973 when He was transferred into my Platoon being his first state-side duty after getting yanked out of Vietnam where he so longed to be. I was a young 18 year old soldier and was in total awe of everything about him. He truly was a Hero. Many many stories he told us younger soldiers that just captivated our attention as well as some of the older soldiers who had been to Vietnam. He was still a Staff Sargent (E-6) at the time. I remember him being very modest about wearing the honor that he so earned and deserved. It was at a time when many of us did not know if we were going to be shipped to Nam or not but we're very willing. Doug is truly an example of a Warrior. After I heard he had passed I found his book and immediately had to have it. After reading it through 2 times I loaned it out never to be returned. I just re-purchased it on Kindle so that I NEVER lose it again. If you like action, war stories and the TRUTH then I highly recommend you get this book. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

While leaders must employ discretion, they must lead from the front and set strong standards for their team to follow, to best assure their survival. By the book, is a term oft times taken too literally as an absolute authority. True Hero's utilize the book as a guideline, refine their skills and do what it takes to make an operation a success. An excellent read for a budding warrior, and passive reader alike. To Warrior Miller and Author Kureth, Rest in Peace, you've earned it.

I was fortunate to spend an afternoon with CSM Miller at Schofield Barracks in May of 1992. I was a young CPL that was on my honeymoon in Hawaii with my then new beautiful wife. I read this book on the airplane on the way to Hawaii (the day after my wedding) and could not put it down. I had purchased it at Clothing & Sales at Fort Bragg 2 days earlier. I read in the back of the book that at the time it was written CSM Miller was still in the Army and stationed in Hawaii. I called the post locator and was transferred to his office. CSM Miller called me back immediately and was quite excited that I had read the book. He spent an entire day (one which I will never forget) with my wife and me telling us story after story. No one EVER has made a more significant impact on my life and my career in such a short amount of time. I am still in the Army 18 years later. I still make decisions based upon what CSM Miller would have done. The book is written as a series of campfire stories. It is quite simply the best book I have ever read. I just finished reading it for approx the 12th time. I was deeply saddened when I learned that he and Major Cureth had both passed away. You MUST read this book...you will never forget it.
