Reviews
The format of the book works well. The move from one eyewitness account to the next is seamless...a tribute to the SOG personnel and to the helicopter crews who risked their lives picking up endangered units, ...the typical reader of this book knows what they are getting into, so they won't be disappointed with SOG: Kontum ., This is an accurate and insightful book on SOG operations. SOG Kontum gives the fullest picture possible of each event., This book is a very moving tribute to the heroism of the top-secret unit based on research and oral histories gathered from SOG veterans themselves...[a] powerful sense of sacrifice permeates the book and makes it profound and unique--especially when one considers the void of secrecy in which SOG existed., Every one of the personnel mentioned in SOG Kontum is a hero. The book also provides a list of medals/decorations awarded after some missions described, but the awards are only a footnote to the highly engaging narrative. The men of SOG-MACV fought for each other, not for the awards or glory.
