Kurzbeschreibung
* The complete chronological history of the extraordinary Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group, told for the first time in full During the Vietnam War, MACVSOG was a highly-classified, U.S. joint-service organisation that consisted of personnel from Army Special Forces, the Air Force, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance units, and the CIA. This secret organisation was committed to action in Southeast Asia even before the major build-up of U.S. forces in 1965 and also fielded an element of South Vietnamese military personnel, indigenous Montagnards, ethnic Chinese Nungs, and Taiwanese pilots in its varied reconnaissance, naval, air, and agent operations. MACVSOG was without doubt the most unique U.S. unit to participate in the Vietnam War, since its operational mandate authorised its missions to take place over the fenceA" in North Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, where most other American units were forbidden to go. During its nine-year existence it managed to participate in most of the significant operations and incidents of the conflict. MACVSOG was there during the Gulf of Tonkin incidents, during air operations over North Vietnam, the Tet Offensive, the secret bombing of and ground incursion into Cambodia, Operation Lam Son 719, the Green Beret murder case, the Easter Invasion, the Phoenix Program, and the Son Tay POW Raid.

Not what I expected by still great read
25. November 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is a great read! It gives a full history and a major logistics side of the inner working of MACV-SOG. I was half expecting this book to have a little more of some of the operator's personal stories. However this book speaks more about how MACV-SOG was really stuck in the middle of everything. Carrying out secret missions and needing much capital to get the job done without discussing what was being done, how it was done, and what were the results kept MACV-SOG constantly caught between Military command, the CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House. This book is extremely well written and as a History Major I was very satisfied to see the amount of sources used and reasons behind using the sources. Its a shame that these men sacrificed so much and have been kept in the dark this whole time but that comes with the territory. But at least a good credible book is something to lean on when telling a history like this.

Changing times

I purchased this book as it is the first book, which named any U.S.Marines being involved with MACVSOG. That single piece of information had been a secret since 1964. Publicly, MACVSOG was a unit made up of U.S. Army personnel, mostly Special Forces and various other government agency 's, but no Marine Corps units were ever mentioned. I found out that one of our General's had passed away in December of last year so I imagine that was the reason our unit was included publicly in this book. We had been informed our presence was classified and would remain so. I was stunned to see our name listed as being involved with the Studies and Observation Group after all these years of anonymity. I have been reading this book slowly and making my own notes, so I have not as yet finished the book. For those that served time in Viet Nam, they may find this book interesting...for those involved during their career with SOG, I think they will be fascinated too. Semper Fi,

Goodbook that covers a topic and time I like to read about. If you like to read about this unit, you will enjoy reading from another view point.
