We Saved SOG Souls

101st Airborne Missions in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos During the Vietnam War

By: Roger Lockshier

Narrated by: Justin Smallbridge

During the Vietnam War, far from the halls of Congress, snooping reporters, loving family members, and conventional US military forces in South Vietnam, a deadly, top-secret war was conducted for eight years across the fence in Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam by small Green Beret-led reconnaissance teams.

Critic reviews

"Finally, a book by a 101st Airborne aviator on his heroic role in the eight-year secret war conducted during the Vietnam War by SOG Green Berets. Over the last decade there have been compelling books printed by SOG Green Berets who ran missions across the fence into Laos, Cambodia and N. Vietnam, often understating in general terms the critical role of helicopter units and aviators like Roger Lockshier. Now, Roger flies readers into the secret war, jutting through ack-ack anti-aircraft gunfire and the horror of being shot down in Laos, providing a well-written account that grabs readers' attention. Thank you Roger.” (John Stryker Meyer, author of On the Ground, Across the Fence, and SOG Chronicles)

Harrowing Bravery

I’ve tried to read every book on SOG and it’s brave men. This is no exception, it tells the story from the view of a helicopter crewman that supported SoG men in the secret war in Indochina. If you like stories of SOG and green berets in Vietnam, this is a must read.

Lots of action

Excellent storytelling and really keeps the reader interested and engaged. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Invisible war

loved the story, had me on edge of my recliner
I Corp 72 73 warriors all

Very Personal Account

A well told personal story of a crew chief that stood in the door of his gun ship every day with his 60 mm implanting and answering rescue calls from our guy behind the wire.

Outstanding.

Hard to express how much I enjoyed reading this book. As Mr Lockshier says, there aren’t many books about the part of the Vietnem War that he experienced.
