"AN AMERICAN SPECIAL FORCES SQUAD PENETRATES INTO CAMBODIA TO CARRY OUT PROJECT PHOENIX: PACIFICATION BY ASSASSINATION!",
By
This review is from: Vietnam: Ground Zero (Paperback)
August, 1986, GOLD EAGLE Vietnam: Ground Zero book number 1 written by Eric Helm (Kevin Randle). As many readers may be aware, this is actually #5 in this series, as several books were published earlier by name of The Scorpion Squad before being issued by GOLD EAGLE. This book concerns Special Forces Camp A-555, or Triple Nickle, located near the Parrot's Beak near the Mekong River, but also enticingly close to Cambodia. Where this plot spills over to as Project Phoenix dictates and directs. Project Phoenix has to do with a change in higher up philosophy that since the North Vietnamese will not change, they need to be eradicated, with a new thinking and government arising from the old order, hence Phoenix the bird arising. The sticky thing about this mission is that the man needed to be taken out is a Chinese officer directing the movements of the North Vietnamese troops from a small base beyond the Mekong River, across the Ho Chi Mihn Trail in Cambodia. The mission goes forward and meets with success, however, a certain general officer of MACV doesn't care for crossing the forbidden border into Cambodia and he is holding Courts Martial of the men who led the mission. Will Captain Mack Gerber be able to save his two men from a long prison sentence, as they are already on their way behind bars at LBJ (Long Binh jail) in Saigon? This is the first in a series of books released by GOLD EAGLE books that ran for almost 3 dozen books from August, 1986 through January, 1991. If a reader has interest in the Vietnam years these books are very good reads, though fiction the facts of that combat are present in each and every book. Semper Fi.
