Description
Between 1964 and 1972, U. S. Green Berets and indigenous troops fought a secret war against communist forces in Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam, as detailed in this new book by military historian Peter Van Buren. In defiance of conventional military doctrine, small teams of American soldiers fought “deep behind enemy lines” without air or ground support in order to sever supply routes for the North Vietnamese Army (PAVN). In the centerpiece of SOG Chronicles Volume One, author Peter Van Buren focuses on Operation Tailwind—a three-day mission by a Green Beret unit that rescued a reconnaissance team behind enemy lines and cut off the PAVN's sources of supply along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
