A Top Secret Scout Sniper's Story

                Extended & Revised 2nd edition
                      Copyright 2011 Robert A. Boyd, All Rights Reserved
To protect US interests from what might be considered by some, sensitive, classified and or top-secret information from being released to the public, 
copies of this war novel were sent to US Military Intelligence, and for copyrighting, was listed with the Library of Congress, Washington DC in mid 2007, years in advance of the book ever being released to the general public....  This gave the United States government, ie military intelligence, the FBi, and the CIA, amongst others, time to read and investigate the books inclusions before the public ever saw it.  The author never heard from any official government office about its inclusions, so in june of 2009 the first copy was sold publically.  In June of 2011, the new extended version, second edition was made available, being published and distributed by Amazon.com/books to readers around the world.  Members of US Military intelligence and even the President of the United States have signed copies. 
 

This is one young man's story of his steadfast dedication to his duty, honor, flag and country, and to his methods of survival while he served his country when inlisted in the United States military from 1965 thru 1968.   

     Based on actual events in the life of Robert A. Boyd, this novel is being presented to the general public, for cover-the-authors-ass-legally reasons, as a fiction work.   

     The names of the actual Officers and NCO's that this book revolves around have been changed to protect the so-called innocent?   The books content, covers events that occurred in the 1960's and may or may not have bearing on US Military operations and or its internal structure today.  Because the US Government doesn't want the general public to know about its failings or the truths surrounding them and the deficiencies blindly allowed by the US Government to continue within the structure of the US military, its content is without a doubt considered by some in the US government and the US Military to be highly sensitive, classified, and, or even, top-secret.   Therefore this novels controversial content has been kept from the publics eye, until now.

   Because of storyline requirements, selected names and or ranks have been changed or antonyms have been used in their place.  In addition, to obscure the outlined missions actual locations and dates of operations, selected sequences in the book have been fictionalized.  However, the detailed criminal and traitorous brutalities directed toward the author of this book by his commanding officers and their subordinate NCO's, domestically, in the USA, in Japan, in the Philippine islands, and in Vietnam, are all true and complete to the best of the authors recollection, summaries of which were  written down both during and after PTSD counseling and Hypnotherapy at VA facilities.

FOR THE READER:

      Be advised... 
T
his IS a WAR novel; written by a Vietnam Veteran, a man who was there.  The brutalities of war are therefore clearly depicted.  From page one, word one, you are taken into combat and into the top secret realm of the CIA and the US Military.  You are also taken into a two front war; one fought against the enemy, in this case the communist threat, the Red Chinese supporting the communist Vietnamese, and the other, a more serious covert threat to Americans; the criminal acts of the more sadistic, mentally ill, and sometimes cowardous and or traitorous personalities that make up parts of its command structure.  The mentalities and subsequent brutalities of which are directed not only toward the so called enemy, but also against honorable Americans that serve their country in the US Military. This is the internal war that is fought every day and night against the few so-called, "trusted and relied upon," officers and NCO's that commanded US Troops in those days.  Again... This novel reveals the real threat of  just some of the sadistic and criminal groups or top-secret-sadist-clubs that are allowed to operate seemingly unchallenged within the structure of the US Military.   

Be Advised:  This is a thought provoking read that will make you feel many emotions as you become drawn into the story.   Because this book is written in first person, and because the writing is so very detailed, you will be taken back into 1967 and 1968, into Vietnam, and into many conflicts in your mind. Therefore, as you read its passages, you will feel like you are a part of the action.  Some of the torturous treatment that was indured by the local inhabitants in Vietnam is defigning and intense.  To avoid nightmares, both men and women under the age of seventeen who have led sheltered lives should refrain from reading this book.  If you feel corageous, buckle up and turn to the first page.  If you can get past the first word of the first sentence of the first chapter, you should be good to go.   

A glossary of terms and codename assignments has been included at the back of the book for quick referance.  When you purchase the book, and since the book was written in the jargon of the day back then, and especially if you did not serve in Vietnam in a combat roll in those days, it is highly recommended that your first read this section, to familiarize yourself with the US Military and Civilian languages and or slangs of that theater of war.

This is a self published book made available through Amazon books.  When you look for the book to purchase it; p
