SOG Missions to the Well

De: Dale Hanson

Narrado por: Dale Hanson

“A respected Special Forces combat veteran of the top-secret MACV-SOG, Dale Hanson draws upon his first-hand knowledge to write with an intensity only possible by a warrior who equally knows how to wield a pen. Well written and thoroughly engaging, it’s an excellent read.” —Maj. John Plaster, Ret., Special Forces, SOG warrior and author

“I have read many books written by my fellow SOG veterans, but Dale Hanson’s style is unique, taking the reader into the reality of a SOG operator and the circumstances of SOG missions while not losing sight of the humanity of those involved. A SOG recon veteran, Dale has the experience and authority to give authenticity to his writing. SOG: Missions to the Well, is even more gripping and compelling than his previous book, Born Twice. Dale’s newest effort has encapsulated our world of cross border missions and the teams that ran them and written them for readers to experience. Hard to put down, this book is full of irony, compassion, patriotism, dedication, dark humor and- of course- the warrior ethos., It reads like fiction but, as has been said, ‘you can’t make this stuff up!’ Highly recommended.” —John Padgett MAJ (Ret), USSF Medical NCOIC Kontum 1970-71

Harrowing

The author provides first-hand accounts of the many risky missions taken on by the men of SOG. It’s both informative and inspiring; definitely worth a listen.

PLEASE STOP READING YOUR STORIES

Whether you’re a SOG operator, Tim Kennedy, etc… you’re a WARRIOR! Please don’t try and be a narrator.
The best books (by far) on SOG today, are by Nick Brockhausen. Why? Are his stories better? That’s subjective. Does he try and read his own story? NO! He has professionals do this, so the buyer can enjoy the full spectrum of mental visuals intended… except trying to figure out what word was just mispronounced.

The details and the pictures that came with the words.

One of the best accounts depictions of hell. Reliving the past where the nightmare come from.

Well written, poor narration

Well written with a lot to be learned about soldiering in the bush, however the narration and editing leaves something to be desired.

Great stories - absolutely atrocious editing

Love Dale Hanson and all SOG stories.

But to Dale- you really need to pull this down and re-submit a fixed version.

There are non-stop errors when you’re narrating - it happens to most of us but that’s a good reason to use a professional narrator.

Then at one point, you mention how there are “lots of typos” where you are speaking to the audio engineer and hold a short convo.

It’s a pretty egregious mistake to leave in an audiobook.


Your stories are gold, pure gold, but you really need to get this fixed and work with professional narrators and editors moving forward
