Download Tiger Force: A True Story of Men and War AudioBook Free
At the outset of the Vietnam War, the Army created an experimental fighting unit that became known as "Tiger Force." The Tigers were to be made up of the cream of the crop-the very best and bravest soldiers the American military can offer. They would get an extended leash, permitted to operate in the field with less supervision. Their mission was to search out enemy compounds and hiding places so that bombing runs could be accurately targeted. They were to travel where no troops had opted, to be one with the jungle, to leave themselves behind and get deep inside the enemy's mind.The experiment went terribly wrong.What happened during the seven months Tiger Force descended into the abyss is the stuff of nightmares. Their crimes were uncountable, their madness beyond imagination-so much so that for almost four decades, the storyplot of Tiger Force was covered up under orders that stretched completely to the White House. Records were scrubbed, documents were destroyed, men were told to say nothing.But one individual didn't follow orders. The merchandise of many years of investigative reporting, interviews surrounding the world, and the discovery of astonishing array of classified information, Tiger Force is a masterpiece of journalism. Winners of the Pulitzer Prize for their Tiger Force reporting, Michael Sallah and Mitch Weiss have uncovered the last great secret of the Vietnam War.
