Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Doug Valentine has really impressed me with his writing. The story itself is very spellbinding if you are at all interested in military covert operations. But not as important as the superb was the tale is unwoven.
Before going to bed I made the mistake of thinking I could just read the first chapter... I could not put the book down until I finished at 5:00 am. And after the gut wrenching toll on my emotions, I was thanking myself to be alive after what I just went through. The attention to detail gave me, and everyone I have lent the book to, the same reaction. You felt you were right there in the moment. I don't give this review lightly, it is that riveting!
The story is based on a real incident somewhere in Southeast Asia. No need to give the plot away, but if you want to hear the author discuss this book. An archived interview is posted at Black Op Radio.
This is the kind of book that you will want to lend to a friend the minute you finish the last page.
I doubt you will ever volunteer for any kind of 'temporary duty' after reading this.
I highly recommend this book.

Based on fact, TDY is an action adventure story told by Pete, a young Air Force photojournalist. In early 1967, Pete is tricked into volunteering for a secret and very dangerous mission into Southeast Asia. During the mission he learns the true meaning of good and evil, while nearly losing his life in the process. Thirty years after the event that changed his life, Pete steps forward to describe the powerful forces that deceived him, and continue to deceive the American public. A crescendo of action, suspense, and awakening, TDY reveals the harsh reality of the US Government's complicity in international drug trafficking."TDY is a fantastic read," says Michael Levine, former DEA agent and author of the New York Times bestseller Deep Cover. "From Page 1 it took control of me, and dragged me back to that shadow world where wrong is right, and violent death lurks in every corner. Every page evoked memories of pain and terror, but I could not stop reading.""This is a well-told, intriguing, unique tale. It illuminates an aspect of the Vietnam War that is too often neglected, the not-so-secret "Secret War" in Laos."-Marc Leepson, editor, The Veteran magazine.
