The Rescue of Bat 21

By 1972, U.S. forces had nearly perfected the art of Search and Rescue. But in the maelstrom of a battle on Easter Day of that year, an operation unlike any other was set in motion to save Lt. Col. Iceal "Gene" Hambleton--call sign Bat 21 Bravo. For the next 11 days, an extraordinary group of U.S. airmen, soldiers, sailors, and Navy SEALs braved one of the largest North Vietnamese Army offensives of the war to rescue one of their own. The legendary and controversial operation, which demanded heart-stopping heroics from every man involved, is relived in this unforgettable testament.
