Book Condition: Near Fine; light bumping to head. DJ: Very Good +; closed tear at tail and top of front panel. Black paper over boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 231 pp 8vo. This book presents the history of the first thirty years of the Green Berets beginning with the training of the 10th Special Forces at Fort Bragg, and later at Bad Tolz in Bavaria in the early 1950s. and concentrating mostly on the Viet Nam era. The ability of these men to operate as advisors in foreign countries, helping to train other armies, is dependent on their very special knowledge of the people, their customs, language, and the terrain. Guerrilla warfare, insurgency, counterinsurgency, all come within their circle of operations. President John F. Kennedy gave a powerful impetus to the growth of SF, but they really came into prominence during the Vietnam War. Their Civic Action programs ("Winning the hearts and the minds of the people") and "Psy Ops" became well known. They maintained camps in the far-flung Vietnamese provinces among the Katu and the Bru, in Cambodia, with the Montagnards, the Hoa Hao and the Cao Dai religious groups. Colonel Simpson was personally responsible for increasing the strength of the Mobile Strike Forces (MIKE) composed of Vietnamese nationals from 1,000 to 10,000 men. The main function of these Mike Forces was to come to the aid of besieged fighting units, and this they did more quickly and effectively than any regular army unit. Simpson contends, in fact, that a more effective use of MIKE Forces might have made the U.S. combat troops unnecessary. A clean very presentable copy. …

The reader cannot fail to be impressed with the book's depth of understanding of guerrilla warfare and how it works. This book deals with that small part of the United States' fighting forces who understand that money cannot win battles. It does not shy way from American military mistakes and weaknesses. Still, the author is optimistic and proud. William Simpson was the son of a career soldier. He attended West Point Military Academy (Class of 1947) and served as an infantry officer. He saw service in Korea and Vietnam and served ten years with the Army Special Forces (Green Berets). He retired from the Army in 1973. While on active duty, William Simpson received the Silver Star, three Bronze Stars for Valor, Purple Heart, four Legions of Merit, Army Commendation Ribbon, five Air Medals . Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian jump wings; and two awards of the Combat Infantryman Badge (for Korea and Vietnam). Following retirement Simpson joined the BDM Corporation, a Washington D.C. "think-tank" and contributed to numerous studies regarding political and military issues. The United States Army Special Forces, colloquially known as the "Green Berets" due to their distinctive service headgear, are a special operations force of the United States Army that are designed to deploy and execute 9 doctrinal missions: unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, counterinsurgency, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, information operations, counterproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and security force assistance. The first two missions, unconventional warfare and foreign internal defenses emphasize language, cultural, and training skills in working with foreign troops. Other Special Forces missions, known as secondary missions, include: combat search and rescue (CSAR), counter-narcotics, hostage rescue, humanitarian assistance, humanitarian demining, information operations, peacekeeping, and manhunts. Other components of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) or other U.S. government activities may also specialize in these secondary missions. The Special Forces conduct these missions via seven geographically focused groups. Many of their operational techniques are classified, but some nonfiction works and doctrinal manuals are available. As special operations units, Special Forces are not necessarily under the command authority of the ground commanders in those countries. Instead, while in theater, SF units may report directly to a geographic combatant command, USSOCOM, or other command authorities. The Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) highly secretive Special Activities Center (formerly known as the "Special Activities Division") and more specifically its Special Operations Group (SOG) recruits from the U.S. Army's Special Forces. Joint CIA-Army Special Forces operations go back to the MACV-SOG branch during the Vietnam War. The cooperation still exists today and is seen in the War in Afghanistan. Berkley edition [stated].
