De Oppresso Liber (De Oppresso Liber Series Book 1)

“De Oppresso Liber” is the motto of the United States Army Special
Forces. In the case of this novel, it is a title applied to
circumstances taking place during the Vietnam War. The tale chronicles
a classified mission, which occurs in Laos. It is part of the “secret
war in Laos” intended to provide Highlander “Montagnards” with an
option for their own independent nation-state, during the final throes
of the Southeast Asian Conflict. The central character is a young
Special Forces medic, referred to by the Montagnards as “Bac Si”. As
part of a dedicated, elite team of military advisors, Bac Si and his
comrades establish a remote “Lima Site” mountain fortress, which serves
as the nidus for a brave new world within the violent maelstrom of that
time and circumstance. Although a fictional account, details and events
are taken from authentic inventories and field events of the time. This
novel could also serve as a training resource for Special Forces
medical training environments.
