| SWIFT SILENT DEADLY THE PICKPOCKET SAGA
It was my pleasure to walk through
The Valley Of The Shadow with Jim White. He was my 1st team leader in Nam
and was one of the finest to serve with the Bn.
It is my privilege to introduce the first book on this page. Written
by James White, 1st Recon 68/70, an excellent work of fiction about 1st
Recon. Even though it is fiction you will identify with some of the happenings
and places Jim writes about. The setting is Viet Nam from 1968 to 70 and
is the first book in a trilogy. He writes under the name of James C. Jamaw.
You will enjoy it, I did.

"Swift, Silent and Deadly: Marine Amphibious Reconnaissance
in the Pacific '42-'45"
The Recon history of WWII in the Pacific by Bruce Myers
Published byNaval Institute Press.
Available after July 2004
Bruce covers all of the events of the recons that he could
document or track down one or more of the participants (both pre-day on
D-2 with first person descriptions of their activities and photos and
idenfification of those who did the D-2 recons on Iwo, as well as a number
of interviews with Russ Corey. Bruce has done the same thing for the some
200 pre-day and post d-day recons on every other major operation in the
Pacific. General Jim Jones (now at SHAPE and EUCOM) did the foreward for
the book since much of what Bruce writes about is Jim Jones Sr, the battalion
commander of the Amphib Recon Battalion. A number of FRA members who like
Bruce were WWII participants are quoted in the book.
