Hazardous Duty
Major General Singlaub (U.S. Army, Ret.), who served in the OSS and was a founding member of the CIA, and whose career spanned 1943-78, gives insights into unconventional warfare in China, Korea, and Vietnam. There are many details of Army life in this highly readable autobiography, but the most valuable portion of the book concerns the Army's covert special operations. While some may not agree with Singlaub's political views, this is the only book in which general readers will find a personal overview of Army covert operations in Asia from World War II to almost the present day. After retirement, Singlaub became involved with the Contras in Nicaragua. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries.- Dennis L.
