Shadow Warriors Black Ops in Southeast Asia - Secret War in Laos and Cambodia

Shadow Warriors: Black Ops in Southeast Asia - Secret War in Laos and Cambodia
By Jack Donovan Reid
The war you were never told about. The warriors you were never meant to know.
Beneath the surface of the Vietnam War lay a darker, deadlier conflict-fought not in headlines, but in whispers. Shadow Warriors uncovers the true story of the elite MACV-SOG operatives, CIA paramilitary teams, and indigenous guerrilla fighters who waged a covert war deep inside Laos and Cambodia-two countries where American troops were never officially sent, and where their missions were denied for decades.
Drawing from declassified documents, veteran interviews, and years of firsthand research, military historian and intelligence analyst Jack Donovan Reid brings to light a harrowing narrative of stealth incursions, high-risk reconnaissance, black ops sabotage, and psychological warfare. These shadow warriors operated in total secrecy-often without rank insignia, official support, or the promise of rescue.
Inside this explosive account, you'll discover:

• The origins and operations of MACV-SOG and the CIA's secret army in Laos
• How the Ho Chi Minh Trail became the most heavily targeted lifeline in covert warfare
• The creation of unmarked airstrips, proxy militias, and forward operating bases in forbidden zones
• Night raids, false-flag missions, and the deadly psychological toll of operating under complete deniability
• Postwar revelations, declassified missions, and the long-overdue recognition of America's invisible heroes.

If you think you know the Vietnam War-think again.
These warriors were trained to be forgotten. This book ensures they never will be.
