The Secret War in Laos and Cambodia: CIA Ops, Covert Bombings, and the Hidden Front of the Vietnam War

They fought a war no one was supposed to know about.

In the shadows of the Vietnam War, another conflict raged—deadlier, darker, and hidden from the headlines. The Secret War in Laos and Cambodia pulls back the curtain on the CIA’s covert operations, explosive air campaigns, and the tribal warriors who bled for America in a war that officially “never happened.”

From the jungles of Laos to the burning skies over Cambodia, author Caleb P. Crosby delivers a fast-paced, cinematic narrative packed with betrayal, espionage, and forgotten heroism. You’ll meet CIA operatives embedded in mountain villages, Hmong fighters recruited in secret, pilots flying unmarked planes under radar, and the devastating human cost of war kept off the books.
