Secret Commandos Behind Enemy Lines with the Elite Warriors of SOG by John L. Plaster Tells the astonishing story of the SOG warriors that were a secret operations force in Vietnam, the forerunner of today's Delta Force and SEALs. Highly skilled Green Berets, they were the bravest of the brave, the most highly decorated unit in the war... Operating in the most dangerous conditions imaginable-always outnumbered, often by as much as 100 to 1-.. They suffered an extraordinarily high casualty rate. Ten entire teams disappeared and another fourteen were overrun and annihilated... He takes readers from his grueling training for SOG to his heart-stopping first assignments to his experiences as a SOG veteran and team leader.

WTF is a first person account of the
six months I spent a FOB-1, Phu Bai, before it closed in January 1969.
It's a 172 pages in 8.5" X 11" format full of how and why we ran recon
across the fence. In addition to being a story told through my eyes and
heart it acknowledges the example our senior officers set with their
ethics, honor, and humanity for the benefit of others than themselves,
sometimes at great sacrifice to their careers. Men such as Bill
(Blaster) Shelton, Roy (Silver Pencil) Bahr, and Frank(Ops) Jakes; all
true Special Forces leaders.

SOG Team History and Insignia of a Clandestine Army Not since the OSS of World War Two had the United States Organized an unavowed operation the size of SOG - the US Army's Studies and Observation Group. By running cross-border oprations intoi Laos and Cambodia, the men of SOG provided the intelligence necessary for America's war against Communist insurgency in Southeast Asia. As with any covert operation, the history and insignia representing these reconnaissance teams has always remained as mysterious as the men themselves. Until now. SOG: Team History and Insignia of a Clandestine Army is a revealing, comprehensive study in images and words provided by the men who were there. Team member history, original insignia, and many never before published color photographs help lift the veil of secrecy from this elite unit of the Vietnam War.

REAL SOG VETERANS COMMENTS REGARDING THIS BOOK!
An exciting book--but fictional. It
is one of the few books I quit reading and threw in the garbage, you might
recall what a pack-rat of books that I am.- The 5 Fingers" that was full of all sorts of fantasy stuff. "The Five Fingers" (Gayle Rivers) was a popular fictional strike job about a multinational mission into PRC during the RVN war. The book had more errors than a democrat news conference, and truly sucked. It is possible that this guy is a poser who read the book... |

SOG MEDIC Stories from Vietnam and Over the Fence by Joe Parnar and Robert Dumont In the years since the Vietnam War, the elite unit known as SOG has spawned many myths, legends and war stories. But few of these stories are told with the perspective and detailed recall of Special Forces medic Joe Parnar. Parnar served with SOG during 1968 in FOB2/CCC near the tri-border area that gave them access to the forbidden areas of Laos and Cambodia. During his tour with SOG he served as dispensary medic, chase medic, Hatchet Force medic and as a recon team member. This variety of roles gave him experience not only in combat but in dealing with and treating the civilians and indigenous peoples of that area. His candid stories capture the extraordinary commitment made by all the men of SOG and reveal the special dedication of the tireless medics, who put their own lives at risk to save the lives of their teammates. 8 1/2 x 11, softcover, photos, illus., 164 pp. Joe Parnar served in the U.S. Army Special Forces from August 1966 to April 1969. Price: $29.00 SOG.M2 To Purchase-->Paladin Press |

$29.95 (Hardcover) It is evident that author Gene Basilici did some deeper
than the normal research on Special Forces Operations and tactics for his
engrossing war novel " Hunting With Tigers". His story starts off like a
burst of an AK-47 and kicks your adrenalin into high gear. The characters in
his book act like real men faced with the lethal encounters. The action is
so fast paced that it will leave the reader breathless! |

Robert: If this is the Bolen we had at Omega in 68, I assure all he is
one of the best. I recall when he came back with a 122 mm rocket intact
from near Nam Lehr mountain Cambodia. SOG test fired it. It
penetrated six feet plus of concrete. That report was why we built the
Duc Co launch site TOC and living area to withstand a direct hit from a
122 mm.
