Tiger Force: The Shocking True Story of American Soldiers Out of Control in Vietnam

Hodder & Stoughton, 2006. New book, 401 pages, some shelf wear to cover. For seven months in 1967, the soldiers of the elite reconnaissance unit Tiger Force lost control in a frenzy of torture, mutilation and cold-blooded murder in Vietnam, stories started to leak back of women and children blown to pieces; of innocent civilians being routinely executed; of beheaded children and necklaces made from severed ears of the dead. Afterwards few would talk about what happened, and the official investigation was swiftly curtailed. This book is the previously unheard account of the true actions of these doomed men, and the consequences of this dark chapter in recent history. For the very first time, pulitzer-prize winning authors Michael Sallah and Mitch Weiss reveal the awful truth behind the American Military's wall of silence.. Hard Cover. As New/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
