The Studies and Observations Group was a covert American military unit in Vietnam that specialized in clandestine cross-border operations in Laos and Cambodia. In September 1970, sixteen Green Berets and one-hundred-twenty Montagnard mercenaries departed on Operation Tailwind, the largest and deepest raid in SOG history.

Well Researched
Revisado: 03-01-24
Well researched and the author makes a great case as to how the media (CNN) created a false narrative with manufactured "facts" to back it up. I too flew in Vietnam but knew little of the war in Laos. Highly recommend this audio book.

When veteran war reporter Benjamin Hall woke up in Kyiv on the morning of March 14, 2022, he had no idea that, within hours, Russian bombs would nearly end his life. As a journalist for Fox News, Hall had worked in dangerous war zones like Syria and Afghanistan, but with three young daughters at home, life on the edge was supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet when Russia viciously attacked Ukraine in February 2022, Hall quickly volunteered to go. A few weeks later, while on assignment, Hall and his crew were blown up in a Russian strike.

Unnecessary Risk
Revisado: 12-22-23
Very well done book! My only question: Why would the author put himself in this incredibly life-threatening environment as a war correspondent when he had three precious daughters and his wife at home. Seems very selfish to me that he would chose this death-defying occupation when his priority should have been his family. I don't get it. I know in hindsight he would probably have made other choices.

The Texas Rangers came to life in 1823, when Texas was still part of Mexico. Nearly 200 years later, the Rangers are still going - one of the most famous of all law enforcement agencies. In Cult of Glory, Doug J. Swanson has written a sweeping account of the Rangers that chronicles their epic, daring escapades while showing how the white and propertied power structures of Texas used them as enforcers, protectors, and officially sanctioned killers.

Gruesome
Revisado: 06-26-20
Couldn't finish it. Just as I won't go to a movie that accentuates blood and gore, this book is all about bombarding the reader with horribly graphic details of horrendous acts of murder of men, women, children, and babies - whether by the Rangers, Indians, or Mexicans. The examples through just half of the book are too numerous to count. While the descriptions may be accurate - not my cup of tea.
