Title: One Huge Fraud!
Product review: I hate to burst the bubble of all those who have been taken in by Gayle Rivers, but this book is one, huge fraud from beginning to end. Rivers was shown to be an ex-Air Force officer from either Australia or New Zealand many years ago. He had absolutely NOTHING to do with SpecOps during the Vietnam War. Just another hoax out of thousands over the past 20 years. In fact, he went on to write another bogus book about his "commando" operations in Lebanon during the early 1980's.Rivers fits in perfectly with the type of Vietnam frauds depicted in B.G. Burkett's, "Stolen Valor: How the Vietnam Generation was Robbed of its Heroes and its History." As a former Marine Corps infantry officer (1984-1991) I am absolutely amazed at how many people buy into this trash. There are many fine books out there regarding the Vietnam War. This one, however, is pure fantasy!
