Specificatii
For the first time, a Navy SEAL tells the story of the US's
clandestine operations in North Vietnam and the Congo during the
Cold War. Sometime in 1965, James Hawes landed in the Congo with
cash stuffed in his socks, morphine in his bag, and a basic
understanding of his mission: recruit a mercenary navy and suppress
the Soviet- and Chinese-backed rebels engaged in guerilla movements
against a pro-Western government. He knew the United States must
preserve deniability, so he would be abandoned in any
life-threatening situation; he did not know that Che Guevara
attempting to export his revolution a few miles away. Cold War Navy
SEAL gives unprecedented insight into a clandestine chapter in US
history through the experiences of Hawes, a distinguished Navy
frogman and later a CIA contractor. His journey began as an officer
in the newly-formed SEAL Team 2, where Hawes commanded boats in the
CIA's series of covert, hit-and-run raids into North Vietnam. Those
raids directly instigated the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. The CIA
tapped Hawes to deploy to the Congo, where he would be tasked with
creating and leading a paramilitary navy on Lake Tanganyika to
disrupt guerilla action in the country. According to the US
government, he did not, and could not, exist; he was on his own,
1400 miles from his closest allies, with only periodic letters via
air-drop as communication. Hawes recalls recruiting and managing
some of the most dangerous mercenaries in Africa, battling rebels
with a crew of anti-Castro Cuban exiles, and learning what the rest
of the intelligence world was dying to know: the location of Che
Guevara. In vivid detail that rivals any action movie, Hawes
describes how he forced Guevara from the country, accomplished a
seemingly impossible mission, and returned to a successful civilian
life. Complete with never-before-seen photographs and interviews
with fellow operatives in the Congo, Cold War Navy SEAL is an
unblinking look at a portion of Cold War history never been told.
