We Few: U.S. Special Forces in Vietnam
  • Date: Tuesday, June 19, 2018
  • Time: 4:00 pm
  • Location: William G. McGowan Theater, Washington, DC

On his second tour to Vietnam, Nick Brokausen served in a small reconnaissance company that conducted some of the most dangerous missions of the war, infiltrating areas controlled by the North Vietnamese, so the U.S. military could take the war to the enemy. This small unit racked up one of the most impressive records of awards for valor of any unit in the history of the United States Army. We Few is a riveting memoir that details the actions and experiences of this small group of Americans and their indigenous allies.
