Green Berets in the Vanguard; Inside Special Forces, 1953-1963 by Chalmers Archer, Jr. Interesting read, but with several errors so far - which I attribute to old age-failing memory. (Unless someone from that day tells me otherwise!)

For example; calling them "mass technical jumps" instead of "mass tactical jumps" and stating that in the late 50's EM jump pay went to $110 per month. (If true, I missed out...)
