Book Signing Saturday January 7

Acworth Bookstore will host a book signing Saturday from 1-5 pm.

Barry Pencek will be signing his new book “Operation Tailwind: Memoirs of a Secret War”. Barry provides a detailed account of the four-day running battle.

The Studies and Observations Group was a covert American military unit in Vietnam that specialized in clandestine cross-border operations in Laos and Cambodia. In September 1970, sixteen Green Berets and one-hundred-twenty Montagnard mercenaries departed on Operation Tailwind, the largest and deepest raid in SOG history. Their mission was to disrupt and distract the enemy in support of a larger CIA operation that originated in the White House.
Over the next four days, as their ammunition dwindled and casualties mounted, these soldiers, and the aircrews overhead that went to extraordinary lengths to keep them alive, achieved the improbable if not the impossible.
