In a world where war is often portrayed in simplistic terms, Echo-4 stands out as a complex and nuanced portrayal of the Vietnam War. It's a book that will make you think, make you feel, and leave you with a profound appreciation for the sacrifices that soldiers make in service of their country.

Til the Last is a story of heroism, patriotism, and self-sacrifice at the highest and most dramatic levels.
