In an operation code named Plan 34-Alpha, covert agents from South Vietnam were recruited for dangerous land, sea, and air missions. Drawing on recently declassified documents and on the first-person interviews of a man who was there, this book tells the harrowing stories of a unique breed of warrior and the daring battles they fought. A chronicle of deception, betrayal and exceptional bravery, it is the inside account of some of the most extraordinary operations in the history of modern warfare. Photo insert.
