- catalog abstract ""American army troops entered Cambodia in April 1970. President Richard Nixon could not keep ground troops there beyond June 1970 without authorization from Congress, which was not forthcoming. He did not want to desert the anti-communist Lon Nol regime, so he ordered top-secret, round-the-clock air support over Cambodia, and the Rustics were born." "This three-year mission was so secret - managed directly from the White House - that there are no official records of it. Richard Wood flew as one of the Rustics, a group of forward air controllers who provided twenty-four-hour air support to the Cambodian ground commanders by flying low and slow over enemy positions. Wood bases his book on his own experiences and those of the other pilots and Cambodians who took part in the operation."--Jacket.".
