I'm searching for that now. Thanks!
/edit
I met Rescorla and many of the other surviving members of the unit portrayed in the movie "We were soldiers" in 92 in DC at the 1st Cav reunion... the book was in its first edition and both authors and as many of the veterans as they could get to come were there. My copy is signed by those men, many of the signatures welcoming me home as a brother Cavalryman (I was in the Gulf in the 1st Cav, in the infantry).
It's one of my prize possessions. I couldn't believe it that Mr. Rescorla died on 9/11... I was saddened to hear that he was gone, but when I heard how he went I knew that was the only way he would go.
