An excellent, well-written tribute to all former Redcatchers of the 199th LIB,
Karen Ross Epp has written and published an immensely touching, informative, and scholarly book dedicated to her brother, SGT Stanley D. Ross, and the rest of the men from Charlie Company of the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infanty, 199th Infanty Brigade (Sep) (Lt) that served with him in-country from April 1969 until Stan's untimely death in a firefight in Long Khanh Province, north of Xuan Loc and FSB Blackhorse, on 20 October 1969.
The book is 329 pages long and is filled with large numbers of quality photographs, poems, letters, and countless recollections written by not only her brother, but from the other infantrymen that gallantly served in C/2-3 during the same time.
This is one of the best books that I have read in quite a while and I would highly recommend this valuable piece of history to all that served with the 199th Infantry Brigade in Vietnam and Cambodia. It is a genuine tribute to the men, both living and deceased, that once served in the best and most professional Light Infantry Brigade that fought in Vietnam and Cambodia.
