The Green Berets

The Amazing Story of the U.S. Army's Elite Special Forces Unit

De: Robin Moore

Narrado por: Jim Frangione

Robin Moore became one of the first true embedded journalists by training with and fighting alongside the Green Berets in Vietnam. Though fictionalized, his work is an eye-opening exposé of the horrors of the Vietnam War and the basis for the hit John Wayne movie of the same title. Taut, fast-paced, and interspersed with unforgettable accounts of combat, Moore’s novel features an American major who goes "native" with Montagnard tribesmen, a courageous Vietnamese girl who poses as a rabid anti-American Communist to capture a murderous Viet Cong officer, and the unforgettable acts of courage of soldiers in the field.

Green Berets Nam and beyond

Being a Green Beret Commo Man I identified with so very much coming out of Oki in 69 as a 05B/C as I did, Commo Men were hard to come by, and we shuffled thru POR near Kin Village and on to where ever we were needed, CCK, Thailand, Nam, Laos, Cambodia and this book although Fiction, was tight with a lot of truth...Much credit was given to both sides of SF, and about how ferocious in fact the VC were...Definitely not afraid to die for their Country...
I truly enjoyed this Audiobook and very well done and Moore was awesome...
Recommend anyone who is interested in SF and some Green Beret history needs to either read or listen up, it’s definitely five by...
1st & the 7th SFG(A)...

new addition was good.

I love that it was the updated addition with the opening and follow on stories at the end.

great stuff

since things are different these days it's time for a new forward in a final chapter as technology has complicated all issues

Stands the tests of ages

This is one of the classics as far as war fiction goes. Except, as the author notes, it isn't really fiction. The stories told in this tome may be altered to preserve confidences, but the events they describe are real. Within this novel you will find heroism and tragedy, and even love. The audible narration is particularly noteworthy for its professionalism; a true story time narration.

great book

read the original many years ago and figured I'd do the updated version. wonderfully written and well narrated.

Gold wings on their chest - the green berets

Great read - no wonder John Wayne bought the movie rights! Well written and well narrated. The story is organized like an operations order, authored by a man who endured the same training as the men he wanted to write about. This book opened the secretive door that hid the story of brave men which operated in the dark so honest men can sleep at night in safety. Undertaken in the 60’s, during a time when the Army was concerned how the public would react to unconventional war fighters. I recommend the book then the movie.

great story and well told

this was a great story to listen to and I appreciate the adds for the current version.
cheers
