LONGSHADOWS
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, Longshadows is the saga of one man's obsession to learn the truth that lies behind enemy lines.

Great read, the jungle scenes were really superb!!!!!
Meeting the East German is not beyond belief. I met an English speaking Chinese advisor to the NVA AT a massage parlor in Bangcock, Thailand. He did not like being away from his home and wife any more than I did.

Questions remian.
The end leaves you wondering whether the US managed to get it's hands on Kurt or if he slipped back the East Germany.
The book was well written and follows the same format as many other SOG novels?.
