"A classic and an excellent book. For anyone who'd like to learn what it was like to be an infantry platoon leader in Vietnam. Like all good war books, this not just about war, but also about leadership. For a young Army officer or officer-candidate, it's an absolute must read."
"This is an Officer's memoirs of his time in Vietnam. This book was pretty good, but for some reason I can't bring myself to give it a better rating. Maybe because the author is an officer, and seems arrogant compared with the author of "With the Old Breed at Pelilieu and Okinawa" E.B. Sledge, who was only a Private, and brings a different viewpoint to war. This book definately has its moments. Both books are must reads for someone in the military."
