unconventional task force known as the Studies and Observation
Group—MACV-SOG. As a cover its mission was to conduct analysis of
lessons learned in combat by all branches of service. SOG’s real mission
was to conduct covert strategic reconnaissance missions into Laos,
Cambodia and South Vietnam as well as sabotage and ‘Black’ psychological
operations. Ground, air and naval assets were employed to insert,
collect, extract, and otherwise support these operations. This book
tells the complete story of these covert agents, from their recruitment
and training, through to their deadly black-ops in the jungles of
Vietnam.
