あらすじ・解説

LZ Sitting Duck, The Fight for FSB Argonne is a collection of personal recollections from 22 Marines and one family member, related to a battle that took place in Vietnam, during March, 1969.

FSB Argonne, Hill 1308, was located on the border with Laos and just south of the DMZ. This story is told by the Marines that fought this fight, in their own words. There are 22 stories of the same fight, all from individual perspectives and experiences. LZ Sitting Duck is a down-in-the-dirt, grunt view of the Vietnam war. This was a fierce battle for the Marines of Delta Company (+ HQ), 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, and 3rd Marine Division. The "LZ Sitting Duck" moniker came from the first moments of this battle, as Marines landed on the abandoned Fire Support Base Argonne, which had become a fortified North Vietnamese Army base.

As these Marines landed, they were dropped inside the NVA fortified position, and were immediately met with enemy rifle, machine-gun fire coming from every direction. Additionally the NVA fired intense volley’s of accurate 82mm mortars. These Marines had to fight their way out from the LZ, on open ground with little or no cover, clearing NVA bunkers one at a time.

Bing West describes this story best, "What shines through from this bare-knuckled, furious battle is the core ethos. It comes through loud and clear when you read chapter after chapter in different voices. These Marines had no battlefield prep, no intelligence, no cohesive leadership. What held them together was the Marine spirit. There was nothing else. Wow! What an epic fight."

As a testimonial to the ferocity of this battle, three Navy Cross citations were awarded for the actions of Marines during first 24 hours of this fight, plus numerous Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart awards where given. The navy Cross recipients were, Lt Col. Sargent (posthumous), Second Lt. McCormick (posthumous) and Major Pierpan, (survived) and authored the foeword for this audiobook.
