The Mission: Penetrate North Vietnam In the early days of the Vietnam conflict, American strategists in the Pentagon, the White House, and the CIA were desperate to contain "the Communist menace." In an operation codenamed Plan 34-Alpha, covert agents from South Vietnam were recruited for dangerous land sea, and air missions. The Team: A Relentless Fighting Machine Drawing on recently declassified documents, and on the first-person interviews of a man who was there, Project Alpha tells the harrowing stories of a unique breed of warrior and the daring battles they fought. A chronicle of deception, betrayal, and exceptional bravery, it is the inside account of some of the most extraoridinary operations in the history of modern warfare.
