In the shadowed depths of the Vietnam War, beyond the reach of conventional forces and the scrutiny of public attention, operated a covert cadre of American Green Berets. "Across The Fence" by John Stryker Meyer plunges readers into the heart of these harrowing missions conducted under the auspices of the top secret Military Assistance Command Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group, or SOG. With a gripping narrative, Meyer recounts the extraordinary feats of bravery and survival in the jungles of Laos and Cambodia, where SOG warriors, outnumbered and often wounded, engaged in a deadly secret war. The book takes you on a visceral journey alongside these elite soldiers, as they navigate through enemy territory, setting up ambushes, surviving deadly encounters, and facing the unimaginable with courage and determination. Drawing on first-hand experiences, Meyer brings to life the intense, often brutal conditions under which these Green Berets operated. Readers will find themselves crouched in the dense foliage with SOG operatives as they confront the enemy in close-quarters combat, feel the tension of night operations where the slightest sound could mean discovery and death, and experience the camaraderie and resolve of this tight-knit group of warriors. "Across The Fence" is not just a recounting of military operations; it is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of teamwork, and the sacrifices made by these unsung heroes in a war that challenged the very limits of human endurance and moral fortitude. Through Meyer's vivid storytelling, the secret war in Vietnam is brought to light, revealing the incredible stories of valor and survival that defined SOG's legacy.
