During the Vietnam War, the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (MACVSOG) was a highly-classified, U.S. joint-service organization that consisted of personnel from Army Special Forces, the Air Force, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance units, and the CIA. This secret organization was committed to action in Southeast Asia even before the major build-up of U.S. forces in 1965 and also fielded a division-sized element of South Vietnamese military personnel, indigenous Montagnards, ethnic Chinese Nungs, and Taiwanese pilots in its varied reconnaissance, naval, air, and agent operations. MACVSOG was without doubt the most unique U.S. unit to participate in the Vietnam War, since its operational mandate authorized its missions to take place “over the fence” in North Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, where most other American units were forbidden to go. During its nine-year existence it managed to participate in most of the significant operations and incidents of the conflict. MACVSOG was there during the Gulf of Tonkin incidents, during air operations over North Vietnam, the Tet Offensive, the secret bombing of and ground incursion into Cambodia, Operation Lam Son 719, the Green Beret murder case, the Easter Invasion, the Phoenix Program, and the Son Tay POW Raid. The story of this extraordinary unit has never before been told in full and comes as a timely blueprint for combined-arms, multi-national unconventional warfare in the post-9/11 age.Unlike previous works on the subject, Black Ops, Vietnam is a complete chronological history of the unit drawn from declassified documents, memoirs, and previous works on the subject, which tended to focus only on particular aspects of the unit’s operations.

A hard-hitting history of special-forces operations over the past fifty years in the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel. After eight challenging years in Afghanistan, the new U.S. strategy, aimed at winning hearts and minds rather than search-and-destroy, refocuses the conflict on Special Forces: unorthodox soldiers who work outside of traditional military forces to combine secret military operations with nation building. Tony Geraghty, an expert author in this field for almost thirty years, unveils the extraordinary evolution of this refined style of war-making from its roots in anti-guerrilla warfare in Ireland and Palestine, by way of the creation of the C.I.A., the S.A.S., the Green Berets, America’s Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.), and many others, including Mossad. This history is more than a tale of derring-do, although James Bond-like characters stalk every page. It is a sweeping examination of Black Ops at a time when they represent the future of an open-ended global war against terrorism.

Vietnam, 1968. Troops are stood down during Tet, the annual Vietnamese celebration that takes place every January. Saigon and Hanoi have made a 'Gentleman's Agreement, ' for a temporary cessation of hostilities. Soldiers breathe a sigh of relief as the bullets cease firing and the shelling stops. But the ruthless rulers of North Vietnam, the Politburo, are no gentlemen. Bullets fly, and mortar shells explode as Hanoi breaks the agreement and the violence resumes. Cities across South Vietnam come under fire, including the ancient city of Hue, where Rick Heller is based at Phu Bai. During a series of firefights inside the Citadel, his unit kills a Vietcong sniper. The man carried documents that reveal the existence of a 'sniper school, ' north of the DMZ. The enemy plans to unleash teams of skilled marksmen into the South to support the new offensive. MACV takes the threat seriously. Rick Heller's Team of Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol specialists is tasked to cross the DMZ, and pinpoint the location in preparation for a massive airstrike to wipe it out of existence. Landed by Chinook a few klicks south of the Zone, they hit problems when the helicopter is hit by heavy machine gun fire, killing the crew. The lieutenant leading the Team makes a fateful decision to split up, and Heller continues to lead his small party into the forbidding North. Despite hitting a series of obstacles, and despite his suspicion the enemy seems to have advanced knowledge of every move they make, they reach the objective. Only to uncover a terrifying secret. A plot to undermine everything the US is fighting for, yet one which they refuse to acknowledge. The mission becomes a race against time to prevent the Tet Offensive from becoming a steamroller that could carry the brutal Red tide across the whole of Southeast Asia and beyond. Black Ops Vietnam: Recon II is an action-packed spin-off series from the Black Ops Vietnam series. A full-length novel by the bestselling author of many Spec Ops books. These include the popular SEAL Team Bravo stories, Heroes of Afghanistan, Raider, Echo Six, and Devil's Guard titles.

The night before Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese Army (April 28, 1975), two naval officers, one a Navy SEAL and the other a Special Ops Navy Seabee, along with a South Vietnamese general and a US embassy official (CIA), were instructed to carry out a “black ops” mission. The four completed the mission; however, one of them lost their life who actually knew the real intent of the mission. The story shifts to 1998 when another member of the team dies of suspicious circumstances, and the two remaining members of the team return to Vietnam to uncover what they really did that last night in South Vietnam. The plot splits into (1) solving the unsuspecting homicide and (2) what the real reason was for the “black ops” mission. It concludes with lives being changed, along with a sad twist.

Born in his grandfather's house during a blizzard, breech baby Martin George Le Blanc was not expected to survive. Instead of baptism, he received last rites. Lack of birth registration made him the ideal future "ghost warrior": a blank slate. Le Blanc enlisted in the U.S. Army as a footloose 20-year-old Canadian, during the early days of the Vietnam War. His rapid ascent to elite black-ops warrior transformed the small-town Nova Scotia kid into a clandestine force in the Vietnam and Cold War eras (1966-86). He finally became an American citizen years after retiring from military service. In his autobiography Ghost Warrior, Le Blanc sheds sharp new light on a period that foreshadowed today's geopolitics. He explores the rugged childhood and intensive military training that toughened him; the dangers and the hard-won satisfaction of defending freedom; and the damage his service inflicted on body, mind, soul, and relationships. As a U.S. Airborne Army Ranger and Special Forces Green Beret, Le Blanc had a hand in historic events, from Israel's victory in the 1967 Six Day War to the Soviet Union's failing grasp on Afghanistan in 1983. He completed 16 major missions and many operations in South and North Vietnam, Cambodia, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, Germany, Grenada, Italy, Lebanon, and along the Pacific Shelf. After each of three nearly-fatal missions, once suffering the loss of all 9 men under his command, Le Blanc broke down, withdrew, healed, and returned to battle, despite his enduring pain and trauma. A movie producer, whom Le Blanc served as a bodyguard, mined the retired warrior's life, character, and quirks to create hit man Martin Blank in the dark-comedy film Grosse Pointe Blank (1997). Ghost Warrior is the true story of one remarkable life. Martin Le Blanc will inspire, amaze, horrify, and deeply move you. "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty." - John F. Kennedy

The Explosive National Bestseller A memoir by the highest-ranking covert warrior to lift the veil of secrecy and offer a glimpse into the shadow wars that America has fought since the Vietnam Era. Enrique Prado found himself in his first firefight at age seven. The son of a middle-class Cuban family caught in the midst of the Castro Revolution, his family fled their war-torn home for the hope of a better life in America. Fifty years later, the Cuban refugee retired from the Central Intelligence Agency as the CIA equivalent of a two-star general. Black Ops is the story of Ric’s legendary career that spanned two eras, the Cold War and the Age of Terrorism. Operating in the shadows, Ric and his fellow CIA officers fought a little-seen and virtually unknown war to keep USA safe from those who would do it harm. After duty stations in Central, South America, and the Philippines, Black Ops follows Ric into the highest echelons of the CIA’s headquarters at Langley, Virginia. In late 1995, he became Deputy Chief of Station and co-founding member of the Bin Laden Task Force. Three years later, after serving as head of Korean Operations, Ric took on one of the most dangerous missions of his career: to re-establish a once-abandoned CIA station inside a hostile nation long since considered a front line of the fight against Islamic terrorism. He and his team carried out covert operations and developed assets that proved pivotal in the coming War on Terror. A harrowing memoir of life in the shadowy world of assassins, terrorists, spies and revolutionaries, Black Ops is a testament to the courage, creativity and dedication of the Agency’s Special Activities Group and its elite shadow warriors.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 For years, the Vietnam War was the alpha and omega of Special Operations Forces, until the strategy failed and Special Forces units were relegated to obscurity for nearly two decades. #2 The Vietnam War was fought between America and Vietnam, and the American sacrificed an average of 5,800 lives every year for a decade. The Afghans were fierce fighters, but they were still unsophisticated warriors. #3 The French were defeated by the Vietminh at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. The French were then divided into two political entities at a Geneva peace conference. Though a dividing line was drawn on the 17th parallel, it meant little in practice for months, during which time thousands of refugees and agents of various sorts moved north or south and back again. #4 In 1955, a team of Saigon Military Mission officers supported by CIA and Air Force personnel worked to build an anticommunist resistance movement in North Vietnam. They smuggled into North Vietnam 8. 5 tons of materiel, including fourteen agent radios, 300 carbines, 90,000 rounds of carbine ammunition, and fifty pistols.
