On the ground

Book • 2007
This book explores the clandestine missions conducted by small Green Beret-led teams during the Vietnam War, operating without conventional support in Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam.

The authors provide a gripping narrative of the bravery and challenges faced by these teams, supported only by air units and helicopter crews.

The book highlights the intense opposition they faced, including 50,000 communist troops dedicated to the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
