註釋Sidi Slimane, Morocco was the first site of a United States Strategic Air Command reflex base which was closed in 1963. It was an assignment that no one wanted (dung heaps and sand); however, R. Merrill Dalton found it intriguing. Sidi Slimane is the story of those men and women who served in that Air Force Base, at the time of its closure. As told by an enlisted man, this the story of those who sacrificed and fought a silent but destructive war against the encroachments of the KGB and its efforts to establish an espionage net that would stretch from North Africa to Washington D.C. The era of the post-Cuban crisis and pre-Vietnam was crucial. This book takes place during that time. The Soviet Union and it's KGB third and fourth directorates were active in the closing of the American air bases throughout the free world. Sidi Slimane vividly preserves the character and lifestyles of those who experienced it.
