At the height of the Vietnam War, few American airmen are more valuable than Lieutenant Colonel Gene Hambleton, whose memory is filled with highly classified information that the Soviets and North Vietnamese badly want. When Hambleton is shot down, U.S. forces place the entire war on hold to save a single man hiding among 30,000 enemy troops. Navy SEAL Thomas Norris and his Vietnamese guide, Nguyen Van Kiet, volunteer to go after him on foot, and as the author of The Black Hand and Agent Garbo recounts here, it proved to be one of the most dramatic rescues in American history.
