Everyone knows the end, but do you know the beginning? It was the war before the war. A time when America needed allies in Southeast Asia to defeat the Japanese. A time when fascists, not communists, were the enemies. Six elite soldiers parachuted into the mountains of North Vietnam. Their mission: to find and help the elusive leader of a small rebel force hidden deep within the forest. His people called him "Uncle," but we know him by another name. This is a story about one of history's greatest missed opportunities and a betrayal that destroyed millions of lives. It's the story of a freedom fighter and his band of followers that would become one of the most feared armies in the world. Based on historical events of The Deer Team - the first American soldiers to fight and die in Vietnam.
