National Vietnam Veterans Museum (NVVM)Book, Tiger Men, An Australian Soldier's Secret War in Vietnam (Copy 4)
This is the story of the development of a highly successful concept of warfare, which was largely the work of one man. In 1965, despite his success, CIA intervention led to Barry Petersen's removal from the highlands, for reasons which remain obscre even to this day. Perhaps his growing power as a cult figure had become a threat to direct US control of the area, or perhaps there were those among the Vietnamese command who themselves resented his influence.This is the story of the development of a highly successful concept of warfare, which was largely the work of one man.
