Description

In a war that was already lost, there was a small group of dedicated soldiers who refused to quit. Operating from camps in places like Kontum and Dak To, Special Forces recon men risked their lives behind enemy lines on the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos and Cambodia, conducting missions whose detection often meant death or something worse.Officially, they did not exist. Their government denied that they were operating in "neutral" countries; Hanoi denied the very existence of the Trail. If killed or captured in Laos or Cambodia, the Green Berets would be reported MIA or KIA-in Vietnam. They fought for each other and for their honor as soldiers.It is 1970. The United States Government is seeking a way out of the war "with honor" via a face-saving program called "Vietnamization." This is the story of the fate of the recon men and the missions they conducted while highly skilled and motivated NVA hunter-killer teams pursued them on the enemy's home turf.A recon team discovers a choke point on the enemy's line of communication. For every day the Trail is blocked, enemy support of forces in the south is set back a month, giving South Vietnam a leg up. The special operators in Kontum are given the mission to do just that.There is a rub; the American president and his government must have "plausible deniability." Therein lies the legacy of lies."Very few authors have captured the action, intrigue and backstory of the secret missions as well as Colonel Gole does in 'Legacy of Lies.' A must read for those seeking the precursor to today's military support to sensitive activities." -Michael S. Repass, Major General, US Army (Retired) Special Forces"Gole's novel is Fantastic! The best part, the top to bottom approach-from the White House, JCS, CINCPAC, MACV, down through SOG, right to the One-Zero firing tracers to mark his position for Covey." -Colonel, USAF, (Ret) Tom Yarborough, author and decorated Covey pilot for SO
