Publisher Description

"When we cross the border: no ID, and it's kiss yourself good-bye if Charlie gets ahold of you."

In Vietnam, the Military Assistance Command's Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) fielded small recon teams in areas infested with VC and NVA. Because SOG operations suffered extraordinary casualties, they required extraordinary soldiers. So when Capt. Thom Nicholson arrived at Command and Control North (CCN) in Da Nang, SOG's northernmost base camp, he knew he was going to be working with the cream of the crop.

As commander of Company B, CCN's Raider Company, Nicholson commanded four platoons, comprising nearly two hundred men, in some of the war's most deadly missions, including ready-reaction missions for patrols in contact with the enemy, patrol extractions under fire, and top-secret expeditions "over the fence" into Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam. Colonel Nicholson spares no one, including himself, as he provides a rare glimpse into the workings of one of the military's most carefully concealed reconnaissance campaigns.

Not bad

My review has nothing to do with the bravery of the author, any US serviceman who fought in any conflict is a hero as far as I’m concerned. But if you want to be truly entertained and shocked, read one of Nick Brokhauser’s books on MACSOG/CCN

Solid

Not as good as Secret warriors but a good glimpse of SOG life.

Outstanding

Captain Nichols once again does a great service for his fellow Americans in this thrilling, realistic taste of combat in the jungle. I’d never do it. I doubt any of my friends would. But we are lesser men, too self-absorbed, and quite frankly I am ashamed of that fact.
Were it not for heroes like Thom Nicholson, there wouldn’t be an America, and if no America, then no beacon of hope for this twisted world.
Thank you is all I can say. Maybe I can do more after reading this jaw-dropping account.
