Thoroughly Entertaining Read - Rated
I really enjoyed this book. It was the first I've read on the Vietnam War and I've since ordered a few more titles after finding this hard to put down. I particularly liked the authors account of his days at Training School and his encounters with Sgt Graves. On arriving in Vietnam there are plenty of all-action tales to keep you engrossed. The letters home to his Mother give a personal side to his feelings on the war as they change as the author become battle weary through time and experience. All in all highly recommended.
incredible and emotional ride through this mans eyes. - Rated
Bought this book for my friend who then lent it to me and i read this book front to back in no time and then read it again. The fun had by the troops out there and then horror of vietnam is made ever present by this book and it is a page turner because of the insight into the authors mind.
This is made possible by the letters he sent home which have been included in the book. interested in nam and snipers then this really is a must read.

An exceptional read! - Rated
JT Ward tells it like it was. An honest account of a soldier in battle. No jingoistic nonsense, but the real story of a hero who just did what he was trained to do. Self depreciating, naive and courageous, JT ward tells a story that is compelling reading. It is so accuarte that it is clear that the author really experienced what he writes. It reflects the brutality and stupidity of war. I loved this book and would recomemnd it to anyone with an interest in the Viatnam War.
A brilliant read which touches the mind and heart - Rated
I found this an incredible, compelling read. I'm not what you would call a big reader, but i read this within four days i enjoyed it some much. Ward manages to place you by his side for his time in Vietnam and you manage the ordeal with him. He describles his time incredibly, showing the reader both sides to the war and identifying some incidents which are beyond belief and some which are incredibly brave. Towards the end the book became quite sad when really it should be happy, showing how emotional war is. A highly recommended read.
