Editorial Reviews

In Shooting at the Moon, Roger Warner chronicles a covert operation that used Hmong villagers as guerrilla fighters against the North during the Vietnamese War. Thought to be an expendable resource by Central Intelligence Agency strategists, the Hmong died by the thousands fighting the North Vietnamese. Those who survived were abandoned to their fate when the United States pulled out of the war. Warner's history is the moving and tragic story of how America's "secret war" devastated its own allies in Southeast Asia.
The New York Times Book Review, Arnold R. Isaacs
. . . [D]rawing on extensive interviews with former C.I.A. officers and others involved in Laos, Roger Warner, the co-author of Haing Ngor: A Cambodian Odyssey, attempts in Shooting at the Moon to fill in the missing pieces and tell the full story of the secret war and the Americans who conducted it. What he found makes an engrossing--and profoundly saddening--book. . . . Mr. Warner's history . . . is convincing and gripping, impossible to read without a strong sense of anger, sorrow and shame.
