Story
For eight years, far beyond the battlefields of Vietnam and the glare of media distortions, American Green Berets fought a deadly secret war in Laos and Cambodia under the aegis of the top secret Military Assistance Command Vietnam - Studies and Observations Group, or SOG. Go deep into the jungle with five SOG warriors surrounded by 10,000 enemy troops as they stack up the dead to build a human buttress for protection. Witness a Green Beret, shot in the back four times and left for dead, who survives to fight savagely against incredible odds to complete his missions.

This is a powerful book
Reviewed: 09-17-21
The writer narrates the book. Im good with that because the events and story are real. Who cares if he makes a few minor mistakes when reading...he never made mistakes when fighting for his country.
The book will keep you engaged and wanting more. Its very hard to stop listening to it. All of his books have been fantastic so far. The details of what these men endured are almost unbelievable. They had nerves of steel and the will to never give up.
The books does justice to every fighting man because it details the battles, hardships, fear, and daily life vietnam soldiers lived day to day. Every day was a battle to survive physically and emotionally. People need to know the hardships and horrors of war and how men lived and died under these conditions. How the survivors dealt with the pain of watching their friends suffer and die for each other.

Story
Good to Go is Constance's powerful, firsthand account of his three tours of duty as a member of America's most elite, razor-sharp stealth fighting force. It is a breathtaking memoir of harrowing missions and covert special-ops - from the floodplains of the Mekong Delta to the beaches of the South China Sea - that places the listener in the center of bloody ambushes and devastating firefights. But Constance's extraordinary adventure goes even farther - beyond 'Nam.

Story
On his second combat tour, Nick Brokhausen served in Recon Team Habu, CCN. This unit was part of MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and Observations Group), or Studies and Observations Group as it was innocuously called. The small recon companies that were the center of its activities conducted some of the most dangerous missions of the war, infiltrating areas controlled by the North Vietnamese in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The companies never exceeded more than 30 Americans, yet they were the best source for the enemy's disposition.

The book keeps you engaged every second. The descriptions of battles, daily life, and humorous rhetoric make this book the one you dont want to miss. The listener will feel like they are there right alongside the crew experiencing the insanity day by day moment by moment. This book will be one you will listen to more than once.
