      Il 23 ottobre del 1965, 450 soldati americani del primo battaglione del 7° Cavalleggeri vengono trasportati con gli elicotteri in un piccolo spiazzo nelle valli di Ya Drang. Sono immediatamente circondati da 2000 militari nordvietnamiti. Tre giorni dopo, a poco più di due miglia di distanza, il battaglione che avrebbe potuto giungere in loro soccorso viene letteralmente fatto a pezzi. Il luogotenente Hal Moore ha un solo ordine: resistere. E un solo obiettivo: mantenere la promessa di riportare a casa tutti i suoi uomini, vivi o morti.

    • Each year, the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps selects one book that he believes is both relevant and timeless for reading by all Marines. The Commandant's choice for 1993 is We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young. In November 1965, some 450 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopter into a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediately surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to pieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray and Albany constituted one of the most savage and significant battles of the Vietnam War. How these men persevered--sacrificed themselves for their comrades and never gave up--makes a vivid portrait of war at its most inspiring and devastating. General Moore and Joseph Galloway, the only journalist on the ground throughout the fighting, have interviewed hundreds of men who fought there, including the North Vietnamese commanders. This devastating account rises above the specific ordeal it chronicles to present a picture of men facing the ultimate challenge, dealing with it in ways they would have found unimaginable only a few hours earlier. It reveals to us, as rarely before, man's most heroic and horrendous endeavor.
