Wonderful

Excellent traderIncredible memories of a MACVSOG Warrior in a different (perhaps happier?) time.

I have read many books of this type over the years. This book is refreshing in that it's not about me, me, me, it actually tells a story of the journey to SF, the many nail biting Ops he and his band took part in. It obviously took great courage to do what he and several like him did but it also demonstrates that no matter how Special you are, you still rely heavily on other services to get you out of deadly situations.I really hope book two arrives on the market soon as I want to finish the Vietnam story.

I have read many books outlining SOGs missions into Laos, Cambodia and North Vietnam but this book shines a completely different perspective on those missions, as seen through a team commander’s eyes. It is quite excellent!

What a great book I highly recommend it to anyone interested in special operations in Vietnam or any military historian. I know I shall be ordering the second book once it’s released buy this book you won’t be disappointed

Dick Thompsons book is a must read for anyone interested in SF in Vietnam. His exploits should be the stuff of legend and hopefully now will be.If you ever watched a action film and thought wow that's far fetched. Please read this book the truth is often stranger than fiction.

What a fantastic book. Dick takes us through his early life as he developed his hunter instincts in the woods, and then his first reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines in Laos. In the clandestine world of MACV SOG - he worked with fearless indigenous fighters who became his brothers and protectors. They soon learned that his training ideas would save their lives on each suicide mission undertaken. This book is frank, brutal and honest - a unique explanation of men in the crucible of war, which has an unusual and enlightening perspective on the psychology of combat. A must-read.
