Summary:

An impressive group of young men have successfully completed what has been described as the most difficult military training program in existence--Air Force Pararescue. Now they're ready to don the maroon beret and receive their orders. In the jungles of Vietnam and all around the world, they'll use their training to the utmost and strive to live by their creed: "These things we do that others may live."Seven young men make up Pararescue Class 66-November, and their newly formed bonds of kinship will help carry them through missions that test the limits of their training and their skills. Only time will reveal their successes and failures--and the future that awaits them as specialists working to save the lives of others.This novel tells the story of seven Pararescue Specialists in the 1960s and '70s as they use their training to save the lives of others.
