WHEN YOU READ ABOUT MR. SMITH'S SOLO RECON MISSION 30 MILES INSIDE SOUTHERN CHINA EVERY PARAGRAPH WILL KEEP YOU WIRED!HE KEPT TWO CYANIDE PILLS WITH HIM. CAPTURE WAS NOT AN OPTION.
Sometimes captivating ... let me down hard

I enjoyed the scene development. I enjoyed the fantasy. The mistake of identifying the Birddog aircraft (Liaison) as a fabric aircraft was jarring! It is a metal airplane! The kid in me wanted to believe, but I had to declare it a fake. Too bad!
Book is a proven fabrication.

I won't waste any time identifying all the mistakes, lies, and fabrications. Smith and his book were exposed as frauds in detail. Articles to that effect were published in Soldier of Fortune and Behind The Lines: The Journal of US Military Operations. Don't waste your money on this poorly written fiction masquerading as a NF memoir. Presidio Press (the hardback publisher) was greatly embarassed by these revelations. -- review submitted by Rob Krott, military historian, sr. foreign correspondent for Soldier of Fortune, columnist for Behind The Lines

This is an amazing book. The era that he writes about was filled with suspense. His story telling ability pulls the reader into the suspense that he lived, daily. It is a book of heroics and the emotions that go along. FRAM 16 and its members deserve to be remembered. Through this book, they are remembered
