Read this over a couple of down nights at work recently. It's the story of Roy Benavidez and the action that gave him the CMoH. The book has a bit about his growing up and his time in the Army, but is mostly centered around the mission and the action of that day. Roy simply got on a helo as a medic to help rescue a team that had been inserted into what ended up being a brigade sized camp.

Here's a link to the actual citation: http://www.cmohs.org/recipient-detail/3229/benavidez-roy-p.php
 
Never read the book but I’ve watched his speeches on YT. Pretty amazing. Another good book by the author is Fearless. Story of Navy SEAl Adam Brown.
