Summary: Disjointed and disappointing
Review: I appreciate everything that Rad Miller, Jr. did for his country, but this book is a poor testament to the men of Special Forces in Vietnam. His unedited, unpolished style of writing might appeal to some, but I found Miller's style to be annoying, self-glorifying and, frankly, probably a little fanciful. Miller tries to convince us that SEALs are the ultimate warriors, yet he details his screw-ups and his colleagues screw-ups. Unprofessional behavior that would normally get you killed fills the book. I don't know about SEALs in general, but this guy wasn't a patch on the Green Berets that I know who served in Vietnam. Just goes to prove that the best of the best are the ones that you never hear about or read about.

Summary: BEST BOOK EVER
Review: I wanted to know what it was like to be a SEAL in Vietnam. This book more than explained what it was like. Miller tells his life story from graduating high school to buying a tape-deck that lasted nearly 20 years. He goes through what BUD/S was like, SEAL Training, and getting his fair share of beatings. Oh, by the way, I hate to read, but I didn't put this book down. I highly recommend it.

Summary: "Keystone Cop's,not Navy Seals"
Review: I was very disappointed in this book.I have read all the others books by "Seals" and this did not come close to any of them. Oh' it's entertaining for a passage or two but that's it.This book also has a lot of padding. Details you or I don't care about. This Seal team is nothing like the other's. How they weren't all wiped out is the biggest mystery and the real story in this book..

Summary: The Real Thing
Review: Looking for Rambo? Want John Wayne? Go elsewhere. Miller tells it like it really was for most combat vets. Months of training and monotony punctuated by moments of sheer panic. The best plans go wrong, the toughest troops get tired, hungry, hurt, and do almost comical things while facing death. Miller has the maturity to admit his human frailities but still manages to show that he was indeed one of the best trained, fiercest fighters in the world. I felt his pain lugging overloaded combat packs, trying to stay awake on all-night ambushes, of almost drowning while crossing rivers and streams, and the morality of staring face to face with an armed enemy and wondering if pulling the trigger is the right thing to do. There's very little military techno-talk in this book, and it can be understood by anyone who was never a soldier but wants to see what it takes to turn a young high school jock into a warrior.

Summary: Very intense reading
Review: Miller's re-cap of his life before / during his tour in Vietnam, as a Frog/SEAL is well written, and is very intense reading. His no B.S. approach to the theme that this book carries is incredible. Leave nothing out, and just tell it like it is in plain english, with a few four letter words included.

Summary: Very exciting.I was totally immersed int the book.
Review: One thing can be said about this SEAL is that he sure has a sense of humor.Of course,war isnt pretty.Its sexy.But really,unlike these other books I've read,like LRRP's Ranger,boy ,does that book ramble on and on about technical issues and stuff I've never been familiar with.But Rad was able to express himself not in a robot fashion,just brain washed to kill,but the human side of being a commando.It was very exciting and intruiging.I was totally involved in it.I have read some true combat novels that just don't get to details about what was going on.Some didnt explain how it felt in combat in true real time detail.Rad Miller takes you there.I hope to get his autograph some day.

Summary: Awesome -- a lesson in strength
Review: Rad tells you, in my opinion, what its like to be a man; how to deal with things and not run away from them. I have read Blood on the Risers 3 times both of these books give me the same lesson in strength. These guys are heros in my opinion. True warriors in every sense of the word. It makes me proud to be American.

Summary: Do not judge this book by its title
Review: The only reason why I read this book is because some one told me my uncle was in it. So I read every page looking for a mention of him. I was pleasantly surprised that the book commented on how misguided the military was. The author was very candid about problems with the Vietnam War. He definitely did not try to glamorize the war nor did he come across as some type of brutual killer which is the impression that the title cover of the book projected.

Summary: The best book about Vietnam from a soldiers point of view
Review: This book is about a man named Rad Miller JR it was a good book. It was reccomended to me by my boss. I liked this book cause it said, "the other side of the war."
Rating:
Summary: A must read for Seal fans
Review: This is a very good book to read for Seal fans because Miller takes u into the minds of seals during their ops in vietnam.
