In these burrows, the Viet Cong  cached their weapons, tended their wounded, and prepared to strike. They had only  one enemy: U.S. soldiers small and wiry enough to maneuver through the guerrillas’  narrow domain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The brave souls who descended into these hellholes were known as  “tunnel rats.” Armed with only pistols and K-bar knives, these men inched their way  through the steamy darkness where any number of horrors could be awaiting them–bullets,  booby traps, a tossed grenade. Using firsthand accounts from men and women on both  sides who fought and killed in these underground battles, authors Tom Mangold and  John Penycate provide a gripping inside look at this fearsome combat.
