New York, N.Y. Ivy Books, 1994. First Ballantine Books Edition [stated], First printing [stated]. Mass market paperback. xiii, [1], 287, [3] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Includes Foreword, Acknowledgments, Translator's Note, Introduction, In Place of an Epilogue, Appendixes, Notes, Bibliography, and Index.

Viktor Nikolayevich Leonov (21 November [O.S. 8 November] 1916, in Zaraysk – 7 October 2003, in Moscow) was a Soviet Navy officer and twice Hero of the Soviet Union. Considered a legend in the Soviet era after the war, he frequently gave speeches to Communist organizations about the war, but he became obscure after the fall of the Soviet Union. After the war, Leonov continued his military service in the Northern Fleet and in the Central Office of the Soviet Navy. In 1950 he graduated from the Caspian Higher Naval Red Banner School named after Sergei Kirov in Baku, Azerbaijan SSR, and in 1952, he was promoted to Captain 2nd Rank. At the port city of Wonsan, the naval scouts under Leonov's command were credited with capturing and disarming 200 officers and 3500 soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army in addition to capturing three artillery batteries, five aircraft and several ammunition depots. Leonov received the title Hero of the Soviet Union for the second time on 14 September 1945. From 1953 to 1956, he was a student of the Voroshilov Naval Academy in Leningrad. From 1957 to 1987, he worked as an engineer at the Research Institute of Petroleum Engineering in Moscow. More
New York, N.Y. Ivy Books, 1994. First Balantine Books Edition [stated]. First printing [stated]. Mass market paperback. [14], 287, [3] pages. Illustrations. Appendixes. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Front cover has become detached and reattached with tape. Includes Foreword; Acknowledgments Translator's Note; Introduction; Early Experiences; Strength Meets Strength; On Hill 4115; A Rookie Arrives in the Detachment; In a Double Ring of Encirclement; Black Devils; Before the Decisive Blow; Face to Face; Final Missions; and In Place of an Epilogue. From the Arctic Circle to the shores of Japan, Russia's most famous naval scout describes his deadly missions in the Soviet Navy's World War II version of the U.S. Navy's SEALs. Viktor Leonov tells how these elite recon troops acquired their special skills--initially in actual combat--to beat Hitler's formidable 20th Mountain Army, which occupied Russia's Scandinavian borders and threatened the ports receiving crucial American Convoys. Dressed in white, their weapons concealed in white sacks, these naval commandos employed methods as diverse as skiing, navigation by azimuth, parachute and submarine insertions, and climbing icy cliffs to carry out their operations in the polar nights. Whether raiding, capturing German officers, organizing partisan activities, or vectoring air strikes, the scouts exhibited the exceptional operational security, surprise, and daring that ultimately drove the Germans out of Norway and Finland and made the Russian commandos' exploits legendary throughout the North and the Far East.

New York, N.Y. Ivy Books, 1992. Third Printing [stated]. Mass market paperback. [6], 307, [7] pages. Includes Prologue, Black and White map of South Vietnam, Epilogue, List of Casualties, and Glossary. Cover has some wear, soiling, tears and chips. Some page browning. Gary Linderer is the publisher of Behind the Lines, a magazine that specializes in US military special operations. He served in Vietnam with the LRPs of the 101st Airborne Division, earning two Silver Stars, the Bronze Star with V device (for valor), the Army Commendation Medal with V device, and two Purple Hearts. In the 101st Airborne, if you cared enough to send the very best, you sent The Howlers. Gary Linderer volunteered for the Army, then volunteered for Airborne training. When he reached Vietnam in 1968, he was assigned to the famous “Screaming Eagles,” the 101st Airborne Division. Once there, he volunteered for training and duty with L Company 58th Inf, the Long Range Patrol company that was “the Eyes of the Eagle.” L Company pulled reconnaissance missions and ambushes, and Linderer recounts night insertions into enemy territory, patrols against NVA antiaircraft emplacements and rocket-launching facilities, the fragging of an unpopular company commander, and one of the bravest demonstrations of courage under fire that has ever been described. The Eyes of the Eagle is an accurate, exciting look at the recon soldier’s war. There are none better. More
