Om Dinky Dau
In Dinky Dau, the third novel in this Vietnam trilogy, Mac's exploits continure to trigger our tears and laughter.
Sergeant Youngblood's rogue Ranger team goes on a rampage. They ambush, rape, kill, steal, smuggle goods, and hole up at an old Frenchman's villa near the Cambodian border. On their way home form Reporter Tex Payne's party, nurses Susan and Dawn, Captain Garibaldi, and CIA agent Hart are in a car crash with an Army truck stolen by Blood's team. The mavericks kill the driver, kidnap the captain and nurses, then take them back to their hideout where they brutalize and repeatedly rape the nurses.
With their Ranger teams and tracker-dog Airborne, sustaining characters Mac and Sergeant "Flash" Gordon are sent to the field to track Blood and his men.
Later, using his incredible abilities to improvise, economize the truth, and manipulate, Mac arranges for former VC Billy and Airborne to take a most unusual trip.
McDonald once again takes us into the lives of the grunt in Nam, giving us a grin one minute and a look at evil the next.
