F/58th LRP, 101st Airborne Division

Brother Against Brother is the true story of a Long Range Patrol mission in Vietnam in 1968. The survivors of that mission, each grievously wounded, have been decorated for valor and bravery under fire, as have their brother LRPs who rescued them. The story is a moving account of courage in the face of insurmountable odds. The saga continues today in the face of egregious false allegations from a disgrutled veteran who is determined to negate their valorous deeds and turn all Vietnam veterans away from their rightful Homecoming.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The first in a ten-part series about jealousy, truth, and honor between men who fought in Vietnam.

Chapter 2: Ambush in the Ruong Ruong
The mission begins. A 12-man ‘hunter/killer’ team is inserted into the mountainous rainforest of the Ruong Roung.

Chapter 3: Nowhere To Go
Expecting a reaction force that never comes, the LRPs linger in the kill-zone while the NVA stealthily surround their perimeter. Pounded for hours by a firefight, they face disaster.

Chapter 4: The Absence of All Hope
Is there anyone left alive after the explosion?

Chapter 5: To Save Our Brothers
Even though they were doing their best to stay alive, the LRPs of Team 24 knew they were dead men. What they didn’t know was that their brothers were trying to save them.

Chapter 6: The Legacy of 20 November 1968
The aftermath of the battle on the little knoll has reached farther than any of us can imagine.

Chapter 7: The Accusations, Pt. 1
After the hell endured by the men of Team 24 in the Ruong Ruong Valley, they have come under fire by a fellow veteran and his wife who say the men have engaged in a cover-up of what really happened: the murder of unarmed rice carriers.

Chapter 8: The Accusations, Pt. 2
More debunked accusations, this time aimed at Gary Linderer personally.

Chapter 9: The Present-Day War
The question at this point is certainly “Why?” What would drive a fellow Vietnam veteran to make these accusations of murder and fake medals against his brother?

Chapter 10: Hope For Future Peace
More than thirty years after one bloody day on a hill in Vietnam, the men of Team 24 go on with their lives.
