About the Book

The Mission: Penetrate North Vietnam In the early days of the Vietnam conflict, American strategists in the Pentagon, the White House, and the CIA were desperate to contain "the Communist menace." In an operation codenamed Plan 34-Alpha, covert agents from South Vietnam were recruited for dangerous land sea, and air missions. The Team: A Relentless Fighting Machine Drawing on recently declassified documents, and on the first-person interviews of a man who was there, "Project Alpha" tells the harrowing stories of a unique breed of warrior and the daring battles they fought. A chronicle of deception, betrayal, and exceptional bravery, it is the inside account of some of the most extraoridinary operations in the history of modern warfare. Finally, The Full Story Can Be Told.

About the Author :
Sedgwick "Wick" Tourison joined the U.S. Army in 1958 after graduating from Girard College in Philadelphia. Eleven years later he was appointed the army's first interrogation warrant officer. Of his twenty years in intelligence, eight involved duties in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. From 1983 to 1988 Wick served with the Defense Intelligence Agency in the Special Office for POW/MIA Affairs. In November 1991 he was invited to join the staff of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs, where he served as an investigator until January 1993. Wick's first book, "Talking with Victor Charlie" (Ivy Books, 1991), provided the first in-depth description of interrogation operations in Vietnam during 1965 to 1967. He has also contributed to "Inside the VC and the NVA" (Fawcett Coumbine, 1992). In addition, Wick has written numerous articles in Vietnamese for publications in the Washington, D.C. area and in Orange County, California. He has appeared on CNN's "Newsmaker Sunday" and has been frequently quoted on POW/MIA matters in local and national news.
