For eight years, far beyond the battlefields of Vietnam and the glare of media distortions, American Green Berets fought a deadly secret war in Laos and Cambodia under the aegis of the top secret Military Assistance Command Vietnam - Studies and Observations Group, or SOG. Go deep into the jungle with five SOG warriors surrounded by 10,000 enemy troops as they stack up the dead to build a human buttress for protection. Witness a Green Beret, shot in the back four times and left for dead, who survives to fight savagely against incredible odds to complete his missions.

In the best-selling tradition of American Sniper and Shooter, Irving shares the true story of his extraordinary career, including his deployment to Afghanistan in the summer of 2009, when he set another record, this time for enemy kills on a single deployment. His teammates and chain of command labeled him "The Reaper," and his actions on the battlefield became the stuff of legend, culminating in an extraordinary face-off against an enemy sniper known simply as The Chechnian.

It is difficult to find another soldier's story to equal Captain Darrell Watt's in terms of time spent on the field of battle and challenges faced. Even by the lofty standards of the SAS and Special Forces, one has to look far to find anyone who can match his record of resilience and valor in the face of such daunting odds and with resources so paltry. In the fight, he showed himself to be a military maestro. After 12 years in the cauldron of war, his cause slipped from beneath him, and Rhodesia gave way to Zimbabwe.

In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,000-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate. Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness, alone with the enemy closing in on three sides, beginning the most difficult and exceptional fight of his life.

Évaluations de journalistes
Harvard graduate Robin Moore’s classic best seller The Green Berets: The Amazing Story of the U.S. Army’s Elite Special Forces Unit is a gripping work of fiction, heavily based on time which the author spent embedded in a US Army Special Forces unit that toured Vietnam in 1963.
Jim Frangione’s performance in this eye-opening audiobook is spot-on, his gruff voice perfectly suited to the endless action and often horrific descriptions of on-the-ground combat in a violent and unpredictable warzone. Even after half a century, Moore’s tight, tense prose is still gripping, and his insights about humanity in wartime still stirring and relevant.
Description
Robin Moore became one of the first true embedded journalists by training with and fighting alongside the Green Berets in Vietnam. Though fictionalized, his work is an eye-opening exposé of the horrors of the Vietnam War and the basis for the hit John Wayne movie of the same title. Taut, fast-paced, and interspersed with unforgettable accounts of combat, Moore’s novel features an American major who goes "native" with Montagnard tribesmen, a courageous Vietnamese girl who poses as a rabid anti-American Communist to capture a murderous Viet Cong officer, and the unforgettable acts of courage of soldiers in the field.

Green Berets Nam and beyond
Being a Green Beret Commo Man I identified with so very much coming out of Oki in 69 as a 05B/C as I did, Commo Men were hard to come by, and we shuffled thru POR near Kin Village and on to where ever we were needed, CCK, Thailand, Nam, Laos, Cambodia and this book although Fiction, was tight with a lot of truth...Much credit was given to both sides of SF, and about how ferocious in fact the VC were...Definitely not afraid to die for their Country... I truly enjoyed this Audiobook and very well done and Moore was awesome... Recommend anyone who is interested in SF and some Green Beret history needs to either read or listen up, it’s definitely five by... 1st & the 7th SFG(A)...

Stands the tests of ages
This is one of the classics as far as war fiction goes. Except, as the author notes, it isn't really fiction. The stories told in this tome may be altered to preserve confidences, but the events they describe are real. Within this novel you will find heroism and tragedy, and even love. The audible narration is particularly noteworthy for its professionalism; a true story time narration.

The best Veitnam war book I have ever read.
I've read alot of book on the history of war and the us special forces (green berets and navy seals). This book is the best one about the veitnam war and the green berets. Tolded from a place of honesty and bluntness I can appreciate.

Pathetic Performance by reader!
With over 300 books in my library, this is by far the worst vocal performer! Every single character is made out to sound as if they are speaking broken English. Maybe this guy got caught up in a Vietnam story. None of the people I know who served over there said that they spoke in broken English to their cou ter parts Might have been a great read but this Audible addition is horrific!

powerful
the stories recounted in this book are a truely inspiring collection. No matter where you stand on the political scale everyone must acknolage the dedication and sacrifice given by these men. They went out on a mission for there country without hessitation knowing they weren't expected to return and never hesitated. My hat's off to the soldiers and to the Author for accurately telling their stories. Trying to not make this a political post I'd like to say hopefully the elected politicians in Washington can look back on history and learn from there mistakes.

What was true and what wasn't
This is a confusing book in many ways. It's a work of fiction. However, it's based on the authors experience. He went through Jump School and training with Special Forces before going over to Vietnam. It's hard to be sure what's representative and what might be fictional. It's represented by the author is being based on events with names and places changed to protect sources. It's worth reading, if for no other reason, than it influenced many to join the Green Berets, or so the author claims. It was the source material for the 1960's movie of the same title starring, John Wayne. I felt that the Americans came off as too good, and too clean to be fully true, but maybe I'm just a post Watergate cynic? I found the book read well overall. There is a extensive glossary up front which can help those not as familiar with a lot of the military terms and slang used. The last chapter of General Shelton seemed out of place somehow.
