Avis sur le produitSOG : A Photo History of the Secret Wars by John L. Plaster (2000, Hardcover)

One of a Kind

If you REALLLY want to see photos of a clandestine war we were fighting in Vietnam, photos of the one the Government tried to hide, this large book is a must. The Government ordered all SOG photos in its possession destroyed, but it didn't count on the ones our SOG guys had sent home. This is an historic collection of the ones that escaped destruction.Lire l'avis complet...

Pictoral of SOG

Great book on the history of SOG "Studies and Observation Group" durning the Viet Nam War. This book contains pictures that for years you couldn't show. The unit I took over in 1970 helped in this part of the war and I wanted to see and read about how it started and it's orginal funtions.
This book did an excellant job of doing just that.

I think all history buffs should read this book.Lire l'avis complet...

Vietnam veteran loves this book

I have read many books about the Vietnam War, and this is, without question, the most detailed explanation about SOG , including the hundreds of photographs. It is more expensive than most of the Vietnam books, but well worth it. "Numba One Book, GI."Lire l'avis complet...

Recon and Hatchet Forces

I was at FOB2 with John Plaster when he was writing the book. I am in the Hatchet section. Like the quote, "We were soldiers once, and young." from the movie. There are many that had the privilege to serve in SF at that time. Most came back, some are still there, but none are forgotten. Thank you John Plaster.Lire l'avis complet...
