From a proud Marine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
A very interesting, if innocent tale of Marines in Nam and WWII. The book is innocent in the respect that it deals with issues that all young servicemembers must face, mortality. You can see the main character mature as he gets older and discovers that there really is "no finer way to live or die" than being a Marine. But the book is highly entertaining. Very motivational, great for young people who are thinking of joining the military or young Marines. Semper Fi!
