Shadow Warriors Black Ops in Southeast Asia — Secret War in Laos and Cambodia

By: Jack Donovan Reid

Narrated by: Richard Mason's voice replica

You’ve heard of the Vietnam War.

You’ve seen the footage—chopper blades thundering over rice paddies, soldiers knee-deep in jungle mud, names etched into a black granite wall in Washington, D.C. But there’s another war you haven’t heard about. One that was never televised. One that was never supposed to exist.

This is the story of the shadow war.

It was fought in silence, deep in the jungles of Laos and Cambodia—countries where American troops were officially forbidden to set foot. And yet, some of the most dangerous, most secretive missions of the entire Vietnam era took place there, far from the headlines, beyond the maps.

Elite units like MACV-SOG and CIA-led teams operated without backup, without uniforms, and often, without any hope of rescue. They slipped across enemy lines under the cover of night, planted demolition charges on key supply routes, rescued downed pilots from deep within hostile territory, and vanished before the enemy ever knew they were there.

These warriors carried no rank insignia. Their names were erased from records. Their missions were denied by the very government that sent them. If they were killed, their families received nothing more than a vague letter. If they were captured, they ceased to exist.

For decades, the truth about these missions was buried—sealed in top-secret files and protected by layers of silence. But not anymore.

Shadow Warriors brings you face-to-face with the operatives who lived and fought in that hidden world. Based on declassified documents, firsthand accounts, and years of research, this audiobook tells the story of courage without recognition, heroism without medals, and sacrifice without ceremony.

This is the war behind the war.

This is what really happened.

And once you hear it—you’ll never look at the Vietnam War the same way again
