Publisher's summary

During the Vietnam War, far from the halls of Congress, snooping reporters, loving family members, and conventional US military forces in South Vietnam, a deadly, top-secret war was conducted for eight years across the fence in Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam by small Green Beret-led reconnaissance teams.

Critic reviews

"Finally, a book by a 101st Airborne aviator on his heroic role in the eight-year secret war conducted during the Vietnam War by SOG Green Berets. Over the last decade there have been compelling books printed by SOG Green Berets who ran missions across the fence into Laos, Cambodia and N. Vietnam, often understating in general terms the critical role of helicopter units and aviators like Roger Lockshier. Now, Roger flies readers into the secret war, jutting through ack-ack anti-aircraft gunfire and the horror of being shot down in Laos, providing a well-written account that grabs readers' attention. Thank you Roger.” (John Stryker Meyer, author of On the Ground, Across the Fence, and SOG Chronicles)

Harrowing Bravery

I’ve tried to read every book on SOG and it’s brave men. This is no exception, it tells the story from the view of a helicopter crewman that supported SoG men in the secret war in Indochina. If you like stories of SOG and green berets in Vietnam, this is a must read.

Very Personal Account

A well told personal story of a crew chief that stood in the door of his gun ship every day with his 60 mm implanting and answering rescue calls from our guy behind the wire.

Outstanding.

Hard to express how much I enjoyed reading this book. As Mr Lockshier says, there aren’t many books about the part of the Vietnem War that he experienced.

Different side and take on the secret war. Lockshier puts into perspective the sacrifice and teamwork that saved many lives and accomplished missions that many would deem crazy to attempt..!!!

Incredible book about our nations finest.

This book was well written, excellent narration and firsthand accounts of the heroism, ingenuity and bravery displayed by members of the Spec. Ops community in Vietnam. We all owe them a welcome home. This book was one of the finest I have read.

the admiration he had for S.O.G teams and the overall brotherhood that being apart of. As a reader you can feel it

nothing to dislike. I felt it was perfect. his account is a eye opening and a heartfelt saga of the soul. I enjoy the accounts of MACV SOG. and the green berets

Important History

This is only my second written review ( star reviews usually) so please forgive the lack of structure. As a female born in 1963 with seven uncles who served in Vietnam I read memoirs or first person accounts to understand as to my ability to do so what happened to my family, to this day the two still living won’t speak of that part of history. Of the hundreds of books and audio recordings that I have experienced this is one of the bravest and best combat warrior accounts I have listened to. I am a grateful American because so many gave so much for my freedom, books like this represent part of that freedom. This book is inspiring, informative and heartbreaking at points. It is most certainly of important historical significance.
Thank You
