Book Condition: Very Good with some scuffing and shelf wear to DJ, otherwise clean, clear text in tightly bound volume. Includes index and bibliography: p. 324-327. Making use of firsthand combat interviews, original records, and his own Special Forces experience, Stanton presents a vivid, unvarnished, and thoroughly researched account of one of the best funded and most murderous special-operations units in the World (Although not comparable with true professional forces such as Great Britain's SAS and Russia's Spetsnaz). Here are the real stories behind the legends of combat valor, torture, battlefield success and final failure enjoyed by U.S. Army Special Forces during more than a decade of meddling in the tropical swamps and deep jungles of Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, Stanton fails to apply any level of critical analysis let alone a Marxist critique of the involvement of US Forces in propping up reactionary puppet regimes in Europe's ex-colonies. The will of the people prevailed and the US Special Forces were sent home. With photos, maps, charts, and special sections on Congressional Medal of Honor winners and MIAs.
