Good review of the actions of the Green Beret during Nam war. I'd rate it a must have history of one aspect of that war.
I made the decision to join Special Forces in 1987 after reading this book. It is by far the most detailed and comprehensive account of Special Forces units and missions in Southeast Asia.
Stanton's book traces the evolution of US Army Special Forces in Southeast Asia from 1956-1975. He addresses the varied programs and missions that were conducted under Special Forces auspices during the period of American military involvement in Laos, Cambodia, and Viet Nam.
This book is a literary fraud.
See STOLEN VALOR pp 435-443
This guy is in a class by himself, he's written about a dozen "non fiction" books and ALL ARE LIES.
