I have known for many years that this story must be told. It is an accounting of the facts as I remember them some thirty years later. It is not too difficult to remember though, for I have had these memories dictate my life and have for many of those years, yielded to the person and character I had become because of those events. This is the story of a covert operation in the Republic of South Vietnam after the war officially ended. A covert mission, which I was told, was one of both principle and one of great honor and. a mission with secrets I would take to the grave...

The more I thought about the contents of this book, the more I realized that I had to edit my previous review. My personal opinion is that this is purely a fictional novel. Too many things don't add up. 1-Desertion was not a death penalty offense during the Vietnam war. 2-The death penalty was abolished in 1967. 3-As there are no legal statue of limitations for murder, it's unlikely that a person would write in a book about murdering multiple people knowing they could be tracked down & prosecuted. 4-The author mentions reporting to a First Sergeant, which is an E8 in the Army, not the Air Force. 5-I've read books on Intelligence & based on what I've read, the recruiting process is more complex than just picking a face out of the crowd. I'll admit I could be totally wrong about all this & if the author can provide certified documentation that the stories in this book are true, I'll gladly edit my review & give it 5 stars. Otherwise as far as I am concerned, it's just a good fictional novel.Product details

And that the way it was By Dawn Early Light eBook Trent Young Reviews
I know Trent C. Young very well. We attended Bowie Senior High School, he being a few years back from me. Right after the fall of Saigon (1975), while I was still a member of the USAF Trent told me accounts of how he was a Security Policeman attached to the OSI and came up from underneath floors and made amazing arrests involving large drug caches. A year or two later his brother Ronny came to visit. Ronny was good people. I shared my conversation with Ron and he set me straight. Trent was never more than a gate guard and base patrol.
I did my four years in the USAF, then after 20 years with the Metropoilitan Police, Washington DC returned to the Air National Guard as a full time employed Technician. I spoke to Trent on the phone a few yuears ago and after he mentioned he had written a book I read the outline. I visited to Andrews AFB MD office of the OSI and related what I knew, which they checked on the Internet.
Bottom line....they never heard of him.
It's a great story Trent, and it is a novel. It would make a great movie. But it never happened.
Oh, I did speak with my eldest son about the possibility of a screenplay. The answer is no. We have enough on our plate with the one we wrote on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. That did happen.
I loved this book. I honestly don't think it matters if it's true or not, so why bash the author for any preface he may have included. We read for entertainment, and man, was I entertained! For someone who has no personal knowledge of the military, and some serious big brother conspiracy therory complexes, this was a perfect book for me. It was fast paced, action packed, and held just the right amount of a twist at the end. Thank you, Trent, for writing such a enjoyable novel.
Seems Mr. G.E Kugler "Ed Kugler" that you again "appear" to be an expert on everything. All 267 reviews that you have issued. Well, Mr. Kugler, you are not an expert. I have communicated with you and I have listened to you, and because this book does not fit into your "supposed thoughts and/or opinions on the realities or the facts as you see them, you must find a way to destroy or inhibit the works of another author. Through the hundreds and hundreds of emails I have received from families, who's fathers, sons, and brothers have "disappeared" from Vietnam, I receive nothing short of gracious and thankful support. I have explained the "backside" of this book to you, yet you seek to backhandedly humiliate. Did you ever stop to think as to why my contact information is on the front page of every book? Shame on you Mr. G.E. Kugler. You see Mr. G.E. Kugler.... I have have the names of each and every soldier....
I bought this as a friend asked me the question, since I am a former Marine sniper, if I ever had to shoot AWOL Americans. My first response was surprise, my second was just how would you know where they were and if you did, why not just pick them up; and third, no, never was asked or ever heard of such a thing.
Well this book I bought on his recommendation and the fact I wanted to study what I spent two straight years of my life doing and have a very large Vietnam library of everything from SDS and protest stuff to things like this book.
While the Author makes note up front that his book is a 'novel' he points out that is only for legal reasons, that he has lived with this secret all his life and against everyone around hims wishes he is publishing his expose anyway.
The writing, the story ... just isnt believable. He points out he joined the Air Force because he wanted to go 'fight' in Vietnam, with few exceptions like pilots and chopper crews, that is not where you would look to go and fight. Then he tells of a 24 day I think boot camp in which the first day he ran for nine straight hours and was selected to work, right out of boot camp he is selected to work with the CIA and taken to DC and kills some Colonel on the streets of DC as a test.
Bottom line ... says his last assignment in Saigon around 73 was to go into the city and point blank take out AWOL servicemen, totalling over 900 out of supposedly 1200? Authenticity ... there are many questions but he refers to people in the Air Force as soldiers, which is one of many things that doesnt speak of one intimately involved. Because of my friend I gutted through and read this book but unfortnately can't recommend it.
The more I thought about the contents of this book, the more I realized that I had to edit my previous review. My personal opinion is that this is purely a fictional novel. Too many things don't add up. 1-Desertion was not a death penalty offense during the Vietnam war. 2-The death penalty was abolished in 1967. 3-As there are no legal statue of limitations for murder, it's unlikely that a person would write in a book about murdering multiple people knowing they could be tracked down & prosecuted. 4-The author mentions reporting to a First Sergeant, which is an E8 in the Army, not the Air Force. 5-I've read books on Intelligence & based on what I've read, the recruiting process is more complex than just picking a face out of the crowd.
