Thumbs Up - excellant Apr 02, 1999
I was not with the marines but I was in Vietnam with the 75th Rangers and it was pretty tough. The author has a great feel for what really happened over there and what we were treated like while over there and when we returned. It was my first book by Johnny Clark and I liked it so well that I have recommended the book to my wife and to other Nam vets. I have also taked up reading him in all that I can find by him
I would recommend his books to all and to other Vietnam Veterans because it has helped me out and others to understand what we went through.

... Mar 29, 2002
By Jim Smith This is the second book I have read from Johnnie Clark. I was born during the Vietnam years but I am too young to remember them. I would encourage everyone to read this book as well as Guns Up! I will read as many of his books as I can get a hold of. Johnnie Clark puts you in the head of a soldier as no one else can. I have always supported the soldiers who do our fighting for us. However, I have a renewed understanding of what a soldier goes through. If you ever read this Johnnie, Thank You! Always Faithful.

Excellent read Sep 13, 2009
By Jack C. Pfaller II Being a former Marine and a vietnam vet I found this an excellent novel. Even though I wasn't a grunt but a radio repairman I still served at some of the more remote firebases. Starting with Khe Sahn. Mr. Clark is an excellent writer and brings the true meaning of
"Grunt" to the pages of his book. The descriptions of the jungle environment and the sress of endless patrols are quite accurate and his descriptions of combat are so real that it will bring home to the average reader what war is all about. An excellent book that really tells what the vietnam war was like as experienced by the infantry. John Semper Fi
