Book Overview
"One of the most hard-hitting of all the Vietnam novels." The Boston Herald. In Vietnam, a new guy loses his rawness fast. Almost as fast as he can lose his life. Gabriel Sauers of Two Squad is newly arrived in Nam, a graduate of basic training ill-prepared for the realities of war. In the coming months, he'll get his real training: incoming mortars and relentless enemy attacks will turn the green recruit into a death-hardened veteran . . . or kill him.

A brief review of F.N.G
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I've read 'Chickenhawk', and 'Into the Green' and various other books by Vietnam Vets. This ranks up amongst the best. It is well written (which many aren't) and I believe it is probably autobiographical. It really describes well the day to day grind and general misery of a typical grunt in the field,moving across the complete range of emotion, from watching his buddies getting shot to pieces, to watching his own body gradually disintegrate from the ravages of jungle rot, and eventually..........well just read it!!
- Great book , and perhaps more ... -

Okay , I bought this one , and got grabbed by the story of this soldier trying to survive in the 'Nam , and gets bullied off of a Chieu Hoi . It's sorta become my bible , and I carry it around with me everywhere I go .
