SOG Kontum

Secret Missions in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia 1968-1969

De: Joe Parnar, Robert Dumont

Narrado por: Corey M. Snow

The Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) was a highly classified, multi-service United States Special Forces unit which conducted covert unconventional warfare operations prior to and during the Vietnam War. The unit conducted strategic reconnaissance missions in South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia; carried out the capture of enemy prisoners, rescued downed pilots, and conducted rescue operations to retrieve allied prisoners of war throughout Southeast Asia; and conducted clandestine agent team activities and psychological operations.

This book tells the story of the Teams operating out of FOB2 Kontum, near the tri-border area, in 1968-69. From recon missions over the fence to the heroic, and sometimes fatal efforts undertaken to try and rescue missing SOG members, the events are told through the words of the men themselves, supported by previously unreleased official documents.

What a Story

The story of the men of this unit is just incredible. We are very fortunate to have men like these men.

Good read!

Full of history and info! Unfortunately, I’m of the type to get stuck on a word/phrase, when someone says it weird. This happened more times than I could count, as the narrator decided to make some Green Berets sound like backwood retards… while putting emphasis on SOME Vietnam names, but not others.
I know it’s my issue, but there are many like this… where these sounds act like brakes, in enjoying the flow of a book.

Brave men of SOG

another great book about US working along side indigenous folks that want to keep their way of life.

Great SOG Stories of Bravery

Listened multiple times. Unbelievable courage and sacrifice. Well worth spending time with this book. Definitely recommend

Narration killed it for me.

The narration of this book sounds about as close as it could be to being read by AI without it being read by AI. Overall The book is good and the experience is captured are very important, but instead I would recommend Uncommon Valor. It is a better written book and has drastically better narration. I cannot express how much the narration of this book killed it for me.
