"Joseph Celeski's Green Berets in the land of a million Elephants gives us a much needed account of the U.S. Army Special Forces'secret role in Laos before and during the far better known Vietnam War. Meticulously researched and anecdote-filled, this book provides detailed context to the political and strategic aspects of the conflict, while also bringing to light the personal stories of the men and their teams who lived and fought alongside their Laotian comrades. Celeski details how Green Berets, working with the CIA under the direction of the U.S. ambassador(s) in Vientiane from 1959-1974, applied and refined their skills in one of the first applications of a new special warfare doctrine. This book stands with Shooting at the Moon and Shadow War as an important addition to the history of the ultimately tragic Laotian campaign."
