DJ has slight wear and soiling. The top-secret missions of a Special Forces veteran are revealed for the first time in this memoir of perilous adventure--from behind-enemy-lines missions in Laos to a secret strike force heading toward the Cuban missile crisis. Sergeant Major Joe R. Garner served for twenty seven years in the U.S. military, including twenty-one hears of continuous active duty in the Special Forces. He received the Bronze Star, the Air Medal, and numerous other medals, including decorations from the governments of Indonesia, the Republic of South Vietnam, and Laos. Avrum M. Fine was a television writer and also a film editor. Derived from a Kirkus review: A gung-ho account of 27 years in Special Forces. Garner, by his own account, is something of a legend. He begins his own tale with his Special Forces (SF) training days at Fort Bragg in 1958, a period characterized by secrecy, training specializations, and tight-lipped macho toughness. Ten years later, in Vietnam and Laos, he was at first disappointed to see no front-line action for a year and even more peeved to be assigned the duty of taking care of Vietcong POWs. This section of the book is one of its most interesting. The SF men are first trained to withstand enemy torture themselves: In one exercise recruits were forced into steel boxes with a few inches of putrid water for hours and days on end. Later, Throughout this book there are fascinating glimpses of what it was like to be part of a unit. For aspiring soldiers or readers with little interest in larger political themes. It's a pretty gripping account of dirty war. Artikel-Nr. 77279
