FYI:
SOG stories
California journalist John Stryker Meyer is out with a new book on SOG, the "studies and observation" group that ran covert operations from Vietnam into Laos in the 1960s and 1970s.
In "Across the Fence: The Secret War in Vietnam," Mr. Meyer gives an eyewitness account of some of the war's most dangerous reconnaissance and intelligence missions.
Mr. Meyer, a SOG operator from 1968 to 1970, recalls signing a document in 1968 pledging to not write about SOG for 20 years.
He writes in the acknowledgements that Robert K. Brown, the former Green Beret who founded Soldier of Fortune magazine, was the first person to pay him for writing about SOG.
His first book is available through
www.realwarstories.com. He has begun work on a second.
