I liked this comment by Rotorhead on Amazon.com (below). Even the non-Vietnam SF Vets know what SOG and CCN stood for.....

This is the biggest piece of fictional crap ever written about MACV-SOG's works in Viet Nam. It's just literary gibberish from someone who had never been there. Too much trash to count. Do not waste your money on it. Rafkin had been had big time by his "friend" Fitzgerald, I deducted.
Fictiious facts in the book:
- Seven-storied underground MACV HQ at Long Binh: Known as the Pentagon West, MAVC was headquarter in a compound called DAO, located next to Saigon's Tan Son Nhat joint military-civilian international airport. My family and I was evacuated from there on the last day of April 1975. It was a single-story compund.
- Mission to eliminate Communist generals: Never happened! Biggest bs ever.
- Eliminating a VNAF's general and his cohorts in a compound next to the US Embassy in Saigon: Outrageous product of imagination. I was one of a handful of VNAF generals so I should know.
- Rafkin called MACV-SOG as Special Operations Group. No, SOG stood for Studies and Obsrvation Group. I flew with them many times.
- Rafkin explained CCN as Combat Control North. Nope! It was Command Control North.
- Too many errors to account for in his piece of crap.
