  • Introduction

    SACO - The Rice Paddy Navy by Roy Olin Stratton liked it 3.00 · Rating details · 1 rating · 1 review SACO - The Rice Paddy Navy is the story of the Sino-American Cooperative Organization (SACO), otherwise known as the U.S. Navy Group China, and its exploits against Japanese forces occupying China during World War II. In this book, Roy Stratton records first hand accounts of soldiers, sailors and Marines who served in China, often behind enemy lines, to train, equip, advise and assist the Nationalist Chinese forces of Chiang Kai-Shek. Many are familiar with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and their operations in the European and Pacific theaters. But SACO's achievements are less well-known but no less impressive. This Navy unit that never numbered more than 3000 men effectively tied down tens of thousands of Japanese forces in China and inflicted casualties many times their number. This account is not an overly scholarly treatment but is a collection of accounts provided by SACO members themselves. The voices heard in the book are those of the men who conducted these operations. The reader can hear in them the tenor of another era when the whole world was at war and so many Americans put their lives on hold to preserve American liberty. (less)
