TRACKS OF HOPE
Don Bendell is a successful author and owns
and operates martial arts schools in southern
Colorado, but many of his activities in his life
equipped him to be a tracker. That talent has
been used on many occasions to locate lost
hikers, missing animals, and fugitives. Very
active in Boy Scouting and bow hunting in his
early life, Don was a US Army Special Forces
(Green Beret) officer, a licensed Colorado big
game guide and outfitter, and did countless
hours of research for his ten westerns about a
famous cowboy tracker, Chris Colt. Several of
the searches Don has been on have been very high
profile national news stories, so many people
asked him to write a book about those searches
from his point of view.
This book clearly illustrates some of the
high drama and adventures a modern day tracker
goes through and answers many questions about
some of the searches he took part in. This
memoir is a true tale of the modern day west
written by a modern day cowboy.

Description: Don has been approached by
many friends, relatives, and strangers several
times each week for years on advice in getting
their first book or novel published. He has
always explained that it is a damned-if-you-do
and damned-if-you-don’t dilemma, wherein to get
a good book published you have to have an agent,
but to get a good agent you have to have
successful books under your belt first. How do
you navigate the pitfalls to actually get your
first book published without having to endure
the morass described? With 25 successful books
published by Berkley, Dell, and Penguin USA and
over 1,500,000 copies of his books in print
worldwide, Don apparently clearly knows the
secret. Since he is a professional writer, he
finally wrote a short book with that secret that
you can purchase and download here for only
$14.95, or simply add $ 5 shipping and handling
to have us mail a hardcopy to you ($19.95), and
you can pay for it easily right now with Pay
Pal.

The Vietnamese
stole their land. The NVA raped their daughters.
The Green Berets know them as the most fearless
and loyal warriors in the land. They were the
Montagnards, who called themselves "Sons of the
Mountains" and always fought to the death. In
this incredible memoir of wall-to-wall combat in
the jungle near the Laotian border, Special
Forces Lieutenant Don Bendell recounts the saga
of the A camp of Dak Pek, 242. On those
death-strewn hilltops in 1969-70, a handful of
Green Berets and an army of 'Yards held off the
entire might of the North Vietnamese – until
even their courage and fighting skill could not
staunch the flow of blood and tears.

CROSSBOW was Don
Bendell's first book ever, but many still say
that it was his best, as it was written very
much from the heart. It is the autobiographical
story of a young very gung ho Green Beret first
lieutenant in 1968 and 1969 and his love affair
with the Jeh tribe of Montagnards, a proud,
family-oriented tribespeople in Vietnam's
mountainous Central Highlands region, the action
and intrigue of a horrific war, and the plight
of the Montagnards who were
racially-discriminated against by our allies in
Saigon. Get wrapped up in all the inherent
passion, horror, heartbreak, laughter, and tears
with such a story.

They fought a war
without rules, and taught the enemy the legend
of the Green Beret. No fighting men in the world
were a match for the U.S. Army Special Forces,
the men of the Green Beret. But in the chaos of
Vietnam, where enemies, allies, friends, and
traitors all shared a landscape of terror, the
Green Berets had to develop their own tactics
and draw closer to the only people they could
trust: each other. Don Bendell looks back at
life and death at A-Team Camp 242, Dak Pek. From
clandestine missions alongside the fierce and
proud Montagnard tribesman to wild rides in
bullet-riddled Hueys, Bendell tells of
firefights, LRRP missions, dust-offs, air
strikes, prisoner interrogations, and acts of
courage. Most of all, Bendell captures the
spirit of the men who were there.
