A poignantly written and heartfelt memoir that recounts the author’s hair raising—and occasionally hilarious—experience as a young Marine artilleryman in Vietnam. Gritty, unvarnished and often disturbing at times, the book provides a unique window into the lasting physical and emotional wounds of war. Realistic and highly readable, the story is not the typical gung-ho narrative of a combat Marine eager to die for God and country. A somewhat different and interesting perspective and a must read for veterans, Marine Corps buffs, students of the 1960’s culture as well as those seeking a better understanding of the influence and relevancy of America’s long and indecisive misadventure in Vietnam.
