The book reveals, for the first time, firsthand accounts of dangerous black operations behind enemy lines during the peak of the Vietnam War. Bright Light is the true story of the author's training as a green beret medical specialist and his service with the top secret MACV SOG. The author also shares the sometimes humorous happenings within the relative safety of the base camp and his warnings for our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

SOG Brothers You can tell that it was written by a soldier and not a professional writer and I liked seeing this because I can believe what is written in it. I supplied a lot my SOG brothers with intel when they requested it. I did not believe they should not get the best intel available, so I provided whatever I could find and marked it Secret so they could receive it. I mailed it to them via registered mail and every package was received by the addressed man. Then I was tasked to also work in Hqs SOG Op-80 (Brightlight) from MACV J2. It became an obsessio. Terrible book! Horrible editing. Reading this was painful. It was as if the printer has a few thousand extra commas hanging around that he wanted to get rid of, so they were liberally sprinkled haphazardly throughout the text, whether called for or not. Replete with misspellings and mindless grammatical errors. My advice? If you're going to write a book, have someone with at least a GED review the manuscript first.
