Based on the true stories of the two US Navy Seals operating behind enemy lines in Vietnam with the super top-secret unit MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command Vietnam, Special Operations Group)

US Navy Seal Lieutenant Tom Norris, on three separate occasions over a four-day period, with no sleep, went behind enemy lines to rescue two downed air force pilots. Using stealth tactics, he was able to get though or around hundreds of North Vietnamese to rescue one pilot. The second pilot - hungry, thirsty, and having lost 40 pounds - was disoriented and unable to help in his rescue. Norris, with the help of one Vietnamese Seal, was able to safely bring the pilot back inside US lines.

Six months later, US Navy Seal Mike Thornton was on a top-secret mission with Lieutenant Norris behind enemy lines. Chinese junks dropped them off 10 miles north of their target. After swimming to shore, the team conducted a recon mission but was discovered the following morning by North Vietnamese. Fighting their way to the South China Sea, they began swimming out to sea. All were wounded, but Thornton, himself wounded and using a breast stroke, was able to tow or push the whole team out to sea until they were rescued.

This was the first time in the history of the Medal of Honor that one recipient got the medal for rescuing another recipient - and each was able to witness the other's ceremonies.

Reader Cautiion: Adrenaline Likely

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

Don't read this book at night due to adrenaline from hearing the amazing true stories. I wanted to run a mile to wear it off. This country is blessed to have such honorable, brave, and capable military people protecting us. I was a little too young to go to Vietnam but greatly respect those who did and served honorably. Thanks to Keith for passing on these stories in such a first-hand-experience manner since he was one of the freedom fighters.

Hands down, one of the best books I've listened to in a while.

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2021

The author, who reads the book, is full of conviction and give-a-s*** attitude that actually makes you want to keep listening. What a great true story about a long list of war heroes. I was looking forward to continuing the book each time I had to stop listening. Highly recommended.

Tales of American Heros

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020

Keith does an excellent job of narrating these heroic stories. His narration will leave you on the edge of your seat as he tells each story. We should all feel lucky to have men and women in the armed forces like Keith McKim and his fellow MACV-SOG brothers.

SOG Navy Seals

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2018

These stories were written and narrated by former MACV-SOG Green Beret Keith McKim from first-hand knowledge; he was there as the Cobra Team Leader and shared many of the same experiences. Although the stories almost sound like fiction, because of the impossibly heroic deeds and hardships described here, every word is true. I challenge anyone to start this audio book and not finish it, probably in one sitting. The stories are gripping and can compete with any Tom Clancy novel. I also recommend Keith's first book in the series, "Vietnam Green Berets S.O.G.Medal of Honor Recipients" also on Amazon.
