Frank's new book "Hunt for Survival" is a thrilling story of survival by two combat veterans of the Gulf war who have become avid archery hunters. Pursuing the majestic bull elk in the northwest region of Montana was the dream hunt of a life time. Massive bull elk thrived in this region's beautiful landscape. Delivery by helicopter to the remote mountains of the Kootenai forest brings challenges they never imagined. Survival would depend on the ability to draw upon their Special Forces training during the Gulf War. It is the dream hunt that becomes a nightmare. Twenty years have passed since Hank and Ted encountered each other during the Gulf War. They discover each other share a passion for archery hunting. Although Ted has only hunted deer he is invited to hunt elk with Hank. Hank and his wife, Sara, have adopted a black son, Lamont, who is now a senior in college. Lamont has also become an avid archery elk hunter. Ted, Hank and Lamont have a brief hunt in the Colorado Rockies to introduce Ted to elk hunting. The story continues with Ted and Hank deciding to engage a guide service to hunt elk in the remote mountains of northwest Montana. Ted invites his nephew, Sam, who is Jewish. A helicopter is needed to reach the remote hunting area. Little did they know a Neo-Nazi training camp is just a few miles away. Sam and Lamont are captured by men from the Neo-Nazi camp. Hank and Ted search for Lamont and Sam where upon they discover them in the Nazi camp. The veil of their Special Forces training descends upon Ted and Hank as they plan the rescue of Sam and Lamont.

Hunt for Survival

The memoir of Frank Hill, a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corp who became an infantry platoon commander in Vietnam in 1968-1969.

A Marine Platoon Commander's Experience

Being Frank about Vietnam

A stirring and honest account of war in Vietnam with no holds barred, revealing brotherhood, duty, fear, loss and a love song to his wife, Diana. A mind-expanding read in hopes to change human perspective on war, it is a sincere first-hand portrayal of daily life in the wilderness of Southeast Asia versus glorification of battles and heroic encounters. This eye-opening book was conceived upon Hill’s retirement. It provided him the time and incentive to open the letters he sent from Vietnam to his wife which lay dormant for 42 years, preserving the experience and emotions he felt of the days gone by in the battlefield. Perusing the epistles and reliving the weighty memories, the author realized it was a noteworthy story waiting to be retold. Providing an honest account of life and combat in the bush of Vietnam and its impact to those engaged in the war, as well as their families back home, this book relates Hill’s activities and encounters while leading a platoon of Marines during the peak of the war. Integrated are portions of the letters to his wife that describe fear and doubt in fighting an endless war. It recounts perilous exploits in Vietnam, south of Da Nang in the Quang Nam Province. It concludes by coming to grips with the burdens warriors brought home to their families. This book centers on the human experience of war—gut-wrenching decisions, fear, loss, regret and questioning—making it a valuable read for soldiers and their families who sacrificed then, and continue to sacrifice today. Featuring a full range of emotions including dread, hate and sly wisps of humor, Being Frank About Vietnam is a collection of honest stories for any adult audience interested in reading a truth about Vietnam.
