Highly recommend this book and its companion "The Grunts"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I don't understand why this book and this author's other book, The Grunts, are not more highly acclaimed. I've read a fair number of books about Vietnam and, in my opinion, these are two of the very best. Anderson's writing style is straightforward and highly engaging. He knows how to tell a true story in a very interesting way. He also has a sharp wit. I wish he had written more books - about Vietnam or anything. I hated to finish this book because it's so good.I'd recommend reading this book first, as it covers the author's first 6 months of duty "in the rear with the beer", and then reading "The Grunts" which covers his next duty in a field combat role. The two combined will give a wonderfully written perspective on the Vietnam war from a highly literate Marine officer. You can learn a lot and be well entertained in the process.
