Green Beret in Vietnam by Gordon L. Rottman explores the U.S. Special Forces' most complex and controversial mission in Vietnam, spanning from 1957 to 1973. During this time, Special Forces soldiers were engaged in a variety of operations, including camp strike forces, mobile strike forces, mobile guerrilla forces, special reconnaissance projects, training missions, and headquarters duty. Each of these roles provided vastly differing experiences and circumstances for the soldiers.

The terrain, the weather, and the shifting course of the war itself presented ever-changing challenges. Rottman delves into the training, life, weapons, and combat experiences of the Special Forces soldier who operated in this demanding environment.
