Expendable Elite: One Soldier's Journey into Covert Warfare

by Daniel Marvin, Douglas Valentine (Preface), Kris Millegan (Foreword)

Exposing the unique nature of the United States’ elite fighting force, this narrative reveals how covert operations are often masked to permit and even sponsor assassination, outright purposeful killing of innocents, illegal use of force, and bizarre methods in combat operations. Through this compelling memoir, the author reveals the fear these warriors share not of the enemy they have been trained to fight in battle, but of the wrath of the U.S. government should they find themselves classified as “expendable.”

Great read

Author was able to put me as the reader in his shoes through his words, maps and pictures. Especially like seeing the villager's pictures and their family style life to support each other.

A very good Vietnam war book. I'm from An Phu district which Marvin told in this book. And he said all the truth.
