Items related to No Place to Hide: A Novel of the Vietnam War
Set against the background of Saigon's desperate last days, this concluding volume to Carroll's extraordinary naval aviation trilogy follows the adventures of helicopter pilot Lt. Tim Boyle and his best friend, Lt. Mike Santy, as they struggle to pull off the final American withdrawal from Vietnam. Boyle and Santy find themselves in the midst of chaos and danger as they desperately attempt to evacuate a stranded team of Navy SEALs before the final collapse. Carroll's vivid writing puts us inside the cockpit of a Huey on a split-second rooftop landing, lets us feel the scorching heat of the jet afterburners, and takes us deep into the jungle, where the eerie silence is shattered by the crack of AK-47 rifles. Filled with searing authenticity and adventure, No Place to Hide is a remarkable story of heroism, friendship, and sacrifice in the face of war.

About the Author:
Review:
Gerry Carroll is a decorated naval aviator and the author of a trilogy of books about naval aviation during the Vietnam War. They are: North SAR, Ghostrider One, and No Place to Hide.
In Carroll's gifted hands, we fly in Hueys over Saigon rooftops; crawl through the jungles with the enemy in spitting distance; and feel the fatigue and frustration of professionals who know their leaders are self-serving and incompetent. Throughout, Carroll inserts technical and military details painlessly and with graceful accuracy, making this a war novel that's as authentic as it is memorable. --Publishers Weekly
. . . No hokum, no hyperbole, minimal politics, plenty of action. There's just no substitute for experience. --Kirkus
. . .Carroll creates authentic dialogue rich in military slang. . .his straightforward plot, enlivened with carefully detailed descriptions and wry humor, will speak directly to those touched by combat experience in Vietnam. --Publishers Weekly
