Raiders of the China Coast: CIA Covert Operations During the Korean War (Civil War in the West) ReviewI had high hopes for this book. It touched on a little-known aspect of not only the Korean War but the complicated role of China in US foreign policy as well. It was also an important opportunity to demonstrate the importance of covert ops in war by someone who was there.
Unfortunately, "Raiders" was 90% chummy tales of the men and their antics in the barracks. It was much closer to a "Hogan's Heroes" sort of tale, i.e., "then Bobby got drunk and sank the boat, ha ha, and then the commander transferred him..." Who cares? Details of operations were non-existent and the role they played in the larger strategic conflicts was ignored. I found the book laborious to get through. Way too much time is spent describing the personality quirks of the men involved and they're presented in a blizzard of names that a reader will have difficulty keeping track of.
The writer also desperately tries to tell his story in a dry, straight-shooter-damn-the-politicians Clint Eastwood kind of way. It fails, unfortunately, to bring life to the book. All in all, save your money.Raiders of the China Coast: CIA Covert Operations During the Korean War (Civil War in the West) Overview
