The tale of a young Green Beret medic, Vietnam combat veteran with the top secret Studies and Observations Group (SOG) who was recruited by the US Agency for International Development (USAID)., Schofield worked 5 years providing medical support for the Hmong and other Hill Tribes who fought the CIAs secret war in Northern Laos, and was among the last Americans to leave SE Asia in May 1975. It was a surreal time and place that would be impossible to even imagine today., Schofileds book reflects a genuine love for the Hmong and their culture, as well as a vast knowledge of their efforts during our secret war in Laos in the 1960s and 1970s. Read and learn some actual facts; not overblown rhetoric from another barstool hero. Stephen R. Leopold, Colonel, SF, USA (Ret), Schofields book will be a welcome, informative addition to recent books released on the early days of Green Beret history in Southeast Asia. De Oppresso Liber. John Stryker Meyer is author of SOG Chronicles, Across the Fence
