| “You missed! But kill me if you can, you SOB. Four bullets in the cockpit, one in the compressor, and down we went. I wish Black Hawk and his Currahees would take the day off. That old man is going to get me killed.”
Bob Miller wrote these words in his 2007 book, Kill Me If You Can, You SOB. Even in just one paragraph, Miller captures the extraordinary, relentless stress and angst of fighting the war in Vietnam during the late 1960s. Flying under the command of Lieutenant Colonel “Black Hawk” Manuel A. Alves, Miller kept a diary of his experiences that are recaptured in this gripping book. It is a story of living with death on a day-to-day basis that will hold you hostage. It is the story of four men who dealt out that death and worked together to outsmart it day after day. It is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the Vietnam War from soldier’s point-of-view.
