Summary: Excellent account of true American Heroism.
Review: I found Dr. Peters book to be an outstanding account of one of the most under appreciated efforts in American History. Having personally heard other accounts from trustworthy and humble individuals that served in Vietnam, I am assured that this book is factual (despite what some other reviewers may contend). The heroism described in this book is a breath of fresh air in a day when most Americans are only concerned about their own personal gain and have no sense of Country.

Summary: 1st recon in veitnam
Review: One of the best books on Veitnam I have ever read. I wish Bill Peters would write a couple of more books.

Summary: Dr.Peters paraphrases my thoughts as a GI in Vietnam.
Review: Seldom does a book hold my interest in such a way that I am able and willing to read it at one sitting. Although I served in the Army, with the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam, I found a genuine interest in this book. It was sent to me by my lifelong friend and fraternity brother (TKE), Lynn Lowder, who is mentioned and pictured generously throughout the book.

Summary: VERY TENSE - LOTS OF ACTION
Review: This book starts off on a college campus with a group of SDS students trying to drive the Marine recruiters away. It was so realistic and it brought back feelings I had long since forgotten. Lt. Peters goes to Nam and joins Force Recon. Contains many insertions deep inside NVA held territory and many close calls in the jungle. Some good firefights. Very difficult to put down in the middle of a mission because you just have to get the team safely back to An Hoa before you can put the book down. A good read. Made me proud I enlisted during the war.

Summary: MY first vietnam book
Review: This is the first book that I've read that was about the vietnam war, and is probably going to be one of the best viestnam books I'll ever read. The guys in this book were like scouts or the eyes of the army. They were alone on those dangerous missions.

Summary: Captures the essence and attitude of Force Recon Marines
Review: We enlisted guys always wondered what the Lieutenants were doing on their time off. That and the overall strategy behind our missions was always a mystery to me.This is the most accurate book I have read about Force Recon. It's something I would be proud recommending to my friends, family, and survivors of our fallen team mates.
