Book Synopsis
Much has been written about America's war in Vietnam, and an enduring and troubling subtext is the composition of the body of soldiers that made up the US troop deployment. This is the authors personal record of experiencing what the military should do best, and what it becomes when esprit de corps, discipline, and a sense of purpose decay.

Trade Review
As a former Marine officer who served a tour in Vietnam from 1967-68 with the 3rd Marine Division below the DMZ, I found the manuscript extremely interesting At times, I found it hard to put down. The author is an excellent writer and story teller. His writing style is crystal clear, interspersed with subtle witticisms that had me chuckling out loud. I got a good feel for the kind of Marine officer that he was - a wise decent sort with lots of common sense. - James P. Coan, author of Con Thien; Hill of Angels ""The book is written with verve, humor, and poignancy and provides wonderful insight into a number of significant aspects of the Vietnam War."" - Peter Maslowski, coauthor of For the Common Defense: A Military History of the United States of America
