Richard L. Kiper

The Special Activities Group (SAG) and
its subordinate companies have
received little attention from
historians, despite being an elite
combat unit and participating in
highly classified and dangerous
missions in Korea. Rarely receiving
more attention than a footnote,
their story usually begins and ends on
the night of September 12, 1950,
with an amphibious raid near Kunsan.
Until their inactivation on
March 31, 1951, SAG simply disappears
from most Korean War histories.
Spare Not the Brave corrects this
omission.

Much of this volume is based upon the
words of the participants
themselves. Using previously obscure
primary sources, oral histories,
and official records, author Richard
L. Kiper tells this unit s riveting
tale.

Wherever possible, first-person
accounts have been verified and
supplemented with official reports,
maps, and documents.
Drawing on his twenty-six years of
infantry and Special Forces
experience,
Kiper brings critical analysis and
insight to this previously untold
story.

Spare Not the Brave fills a gap in the
historiography of the
Korean War and adds a valuable
chapter to the history of U.S. Army
special operations.
