Firefight on Vietnam Brown Water
By
Lynn Salsi
![]()

With historically accurate
scenes and action, this is a different view of the Vietnam War. The story
centers on one small crew of young men fighting for their country from a
heavily-armed 50-foot aluminum boat in a primitive wilderness environment where
rivers are the only roads.
What readers say:
“A great book! It will
leave a lasting impression on those who do not know what life was like in the
combat zone. Al Lupo is a fictional character, but the history is authentic. I
know because I was there as an enlisted serving on a SWIFT.”
William Douglas Kelley, Commander USN-retired

“An amazing journey from
high school to grown up while at war."
David Wallace, OinC, PCFs 32, 65
“This is a fictional account of SWIFT Boat operations in 1969-70 based on
actual crew experiences.”
Tom L. Hovland, Captain, USN-retired
“I learned things about operations in the north I didn’t know. The parts of
the book I was familiar with rang true to me. The book held my interest
throughout.”
Wey Symmes, PCF crewman and author of War On the Rivers
