A brand new version of this traditional illustrated historical past of the operations and operatives of MACV-SOG within the Vietnam Conflict.
In 1972 the U.S. navy destroyed all identified photographs of the top-secret Research and Observations Group, with the intention that particulars may by no means be made public. However unknown to these in cost, SOG veterans had introduced again with them tons of of pictures of SOG in motion and would hold them secret for greater than three many years.
On this re-creation of SOG: A Picture Historical past, greater than 700 irreplaceable photographs carry to life the tales of SOG legends Larry Thorne, Bob Howard, Dick Meadows, George Sisler, “Q” and others, and doc what actually occurred deep inside enemy territory: Operation Tailwind, the Son Tay raid, SOG’s protection of Khe Sanh, Hatchet Drive operations, Shiny Mild rescues, HALO insertions, string extractions, SOG’s darkest applications and rather more.
