Shooting at the Moon: The Story of America's Clandestine War in Laos
InShooting at the Moon, Roger Warner chronicles a covert operation that used Hmong villagers as guerrilla fighters against the North during the Vietnamese War. Thought to be an expendable resource by Central Intelligence Agency strategists, the Hmong died by the thousands fighting the North Vietnamese. Those who survived were abandoned to their fate when the United States pulled out of the war.  Warner's history is the moving and tragic story of how America's "secret war" devastated its own allies in Southeast Asia.
