Most soldiers follow, some lead. This one hunts…

He is a breed apart. He doesn’t judge. Judging is for others. When the crosshairs of his rifle’s scope settle, a life ends. He doesn’t miss. Missing is for shavetails and greenhorns. He can survive for weeks in the harshest jungle. Silent and invisible, his prey never sees him coming and never hears the bullet that kills them.

Marine Sergeant Rene Granier is the sniper in an elite unit of OSS operatives known as The Deer Team. Their mission is to find, supply, and train America’s ally - the Viet Minh. Some are communists; all are patriots. They fight to free their country from the tyranny of foreign invaders, first the French, and now the Japanese.

The Viet Minh have a revered leader. The Americans call him Mr. Hoo. His followers call him Uncle. History knows him as Ho Chi Minh. The Americans need his help to defeat their common enemy. Promises are made. Now, they fight side-by-side in the mountains of Northern Indochina. They form an unshakeable bond… or so they think.

Based on historical events and real people, A War Too Far is the story of The Deer Team and their operations against the Japanese Army near the end of World War II. It is a cautionary tale of missed opportunities, tragic betrayal, and incredible bravery.
