White Water, Red Hot Lead is a story about U.S. Navy Swift Boats in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968. This nonfiction book is written by Dan Daly, the Officer-in-Charge of PCF 76. The crews, all volunteers, averaged twenty-three years old. The stories of these sailors encompass lighting firefights, brutalizing weather, danger at every turn and an unexpected touch of romance and humor. There are no political discussions, no apologies. Instead, this book shares a sense of pride in a job well done. Over time, the sailors grew into seasoned combat teams and formed unbreakable bonds for life. Those who returned home asked little of their country and received less. This book is a tribute to their service.
