MAC V SOG: TEAM HISTORY OF A CLANDESTINE ARMY, Vol. 4 (IV) Released in 2013, this is the fourth edition in the MAC V SOG series by Jason M. Hardy. The limited publication of 500 copies are hard cover with a dust jacket, 400 pages, glued and sewn binding, over 1000 period images of personnel, documents, letters home and artifacts on heavy archival paper.
