It's 100% free.

I deleted the link, but the site is called LibGen.
I want to have a look but not sure i want to invest 99c.
(If it's worth it Karma, 'promise to wing you the 99c directly)
When you open the downloaded it asks you to register but you don't need to. It's just the first page of each downloaded book.
Still here, in country...

“As night fell on March 10, 1968, with communist forces clearly drawing near the mountaintop (known in agency parlance as “Lima Site 85”) and bombarding Phou Pha Thi with artillery, the men on Phou Pha Thi warily went to sleep after cabling Udorn Air Base, “See you later . . . I hope.”
No hope.
There is a lot of treachery in this story. From start to finish.

I got that about 20 years ago, it inspired me to visit many places in Thailand/ Laos. You can get copies at Bohr's on Sothearous.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
