John Joseph Duffy was born in Brooklyn New York; Le Van M in a small village outside the old imperial capital of Hue in South Vietnam. Living on opposite sides of the globe they come together in the heat of war in Southeast Asia when Major Duffy is assigned as the American advisor to the elite South Vietnamese 11th Airborne Battalion where M is second in command. The battalion receives the order to " Fight to the death" on Charlie Hill. After two weeks of intense combat hundreds lay dead and those still standing are out of food water and medical supplies.
