Publishers Weekly Rich in suspense and adventure, replete with stories of secret intelligence missions that went unrecorded by reporters.
Book Description
North Vietnam. Laos. Cambodia. Thailand. China.
Officially, no American troops were there in 1965. But as part of FRAM 16, a super-secret elite fighting team trained by the CIA for reconnaissance and covert combat patrols, Warner Smith repeatedly engaged enemy forces deep within their own territory. Now, revealing for the first time the incredible black-ops combat missions that were hidden from even the military, Smith tells the true account of his harrowing twenty-month odyssey as a CIA covert warrior.
From busting American fliers out of a Laos POW camp to a solo mission into China to locate surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) crippling U.S. aircraft, Covert Warrior is an intensely riveting memoir of remarkable heroism against impossible odds -- and an explosive new chapter of the Vietnam War that can only now be told.
