The Tales of Six Tigers: A Window on the Covert American War In Southeast Asia 1971-1975
With the United States entrenched in Vietnam and no end in sight, young Mac graduates from college knowing that his draft number might be called any day. So when an acquaintance from his past shows up and offers Mac the opportunity to escape being a rank and file soldier in exchange for joining a team assigned to covert operations, he jumps at the opportunity. The pay is good, he’ll get to use his understanding of electronics for assignments, and Mac is pretty sure that anything would be better than getting shot in a rice paddy. He just has to make it out of boot camp alive…
Mac somehow survives training and finds himself assigned to missions in Laos and Cambodia. Wet behind the ears, he works hard to prove himself to his comrades. But somewhere along the way, as he and his brothers spend time fighting in the jungle, enjoying R&R in Bangkok, and coping with the realities of war, Mac becomes a man.
Based on the author’s real life experiences, The Tale of Six Tigers provides a compelling look at what it was like to be on the ground in Southeast Asia in the early-seventies. .

Clandestine Hero
This is a well written, exciting book about unknown soldiers in Southeast Asia. This is fiction but based on real men who fought behind the scenes to accomplish what cowardly politicians would not. Fun read.
