Longshadows

By Kent White

Book Overview

It is 1969 and the Vietnam War has been raging for over five years. The North Vietnamese Army has increased their cross-border attacks on American troops from their hidden jungle sanctuaries in Laos and Cambodia. Operating deep inside Laos and Cambodia, elite Green Beret Studies and Observation, or SOG, reconnaissance teams routinely infiltrate enemy strongholds to gather valuable intelligence on the NVA troop and equipment build-up.

Longshadows is the riviting story of a six-man, SOG recon team led by Special Forces Sergeant Steve McShane. His team, comprised of one other American Green Beret and four indigenous mercenaries, discovers the existence of a Caucasian fighting alongside enemy NVA soldiers. Russian army advisor? Foreign mercenary? American deserter? A $10,000 reward has been offered to any SOG team capturing a Caucasian, dead or alive. Sergeant McShane must pit his intelligence, courage, and strength against a cunning enemy in a series of deadly clashes in the treacherous jungles of Laos. The compelling, bone chilling action of Kent White's novel, promises to both terrify and excite, wrapping the reader in a suspenseful web of intrigue.

Inspired by actual events, Lonshadows is the saga of one man's obsession to learn the truth that lies behind enemy lines.

Longshadows by Kent White

Having read through this book, twice in less than a year, I continued to find the story drawing me back until I hurried from other duties to finish. The storyline and information reawakened memories of my own experiences of that time, while serving in the Army Special Forces 5th group on an A-team on the Cambodian border. This book will remain in my read again section of the library, where few books earn that respect. My occupation as a pharmaceutical specialties operations manager and educator leads me to respect a good book and author. Thank You, Kent.
