About this listen
For eight years, far beyond the battlefields of Vietnam and the glare of media distortions, American Green Berets fought a deadly secret war in Laos and Cambodia under the aegis of the top secret Military Assistance Command Vietnam - Studies and Observations Group, or SOG.
Go deep into the jungle with five SOG warriors surrounded by 10,000 enemy troops as they stack up the dead to build a human buttress for protection. Witness a Green Beret, shot in the back four times and left for dead, who survives to fight savagely against incredible odds to complete his missions.
Shudder as an enemy soldier touches a Green Beret’s boot in the dark of night. Cringe as a Sergeant on SOG Spike Team Louisiana calls in an air strike on his team to break an enemy’s wave attack. A team member dies instantly, and a Green Beret has an out-of-body experience as he watches his leg get blown off.
©2011 John Stryker Meyer (P)2019 John Stryker MeyerCritic Reviews
“As the commander of SOG, I can say that “Across the Fence” accurately reflects why the secret war was hazardous for our troops and so deadly for the enemy. (Major General John K. Singlaub - U. S. Army Ret.)
"Black Ops told with the terrifying clarity that only one who was there can tell it." (W.E.B. Griffin & William E. Butterworth IV)

Worthwhile but flawed
John's stalted reading was hard to listen to initially. Some repetition of descriptions and events two and even three times suggest this work could have been better edited. However, more than redeemed by some very vivid and captivating stories.

mind blowing account of unconventional warfare
If you didnt know about the secret war you'd swear it was fiction! Absolutely mind blowing account of unconventional warfare. Narration was fantastic done by the special operator/author himself really adding to the first person feel of the book expertly describing everything from the sticky apricot syrup on his stock to the heat of the napalm. My only regret is not getting this book sooner!

Makes the A-team look low key.
this book was awesome, it's unbelievable to think anyone lived through the moments the SOG members fought through.
took me a few minutes to get used to the authors voice and pacing in reading this, but once I did. the history and story telling is so good. I didn't want to stop listening!

Incredible
Fascinating insight into SOG activities during the Vietnam war. Very lucky to have these stories recorded. John’s narration is great and hearing these stories told by the man himself makes this audiobook special.
