Mikail: Not pro-war and not anti-war, just the facts but very well written. The author is very good. If you like this book, I would recommend (and also bought) "Six Silent Men, Book 3" from the same author and equally as well written (Also about LURPS).

Hurtin Albertan: These books are a fantastic read. They are broken down into short but detailed accounts of individual patrols. I feel the author has not embellished them for entertainment value but recorded history as it took place. I liked that there is not an overwhelming amount of military lingo n slang that might distract a civilian reader such as myself. Just enough that I feel I’m learning some interesting tid bits. Also a great glossry in the book so your not searching a dictionary. Great read

Jimbo: More of the same from Mr Linderer, don't start with this one if you don't know him. I'd have a look at other books about the LRRP/LRPs etc first. Lacks some feeling and conviction of the other books.
Maybe better to consider Acceptable loss, by Krieg Jorgensen a more personal account of life in the same unit.

Wooding: Great book!
I prefer reading books from the soldiers point of view. That way it is not blinded by Politics and biased views based on 'good vs bad'.
This is just what the solider experienced, from his view.
These guys were, and still are, incredible !

Kindle Customer: This is the best book I've read when it comes to recon missions in the Vietnam War. Gary Linderer was himself a recon team member and later a team leader. He holds nothing back when describing the horrors of war and sadness resulting from losing a team member. I have read all of this warrior's books and haven't found any person better at giving you the truth than this guy.
This particular book gives you many different missions from many different teams throughout the Republic of Vietnam. Their thoughts, fears, actions, failures, and triumphs are all spelled out clearly to the reader. You will be on a emotional roller coaster throughout these missions. If you begin this book later in the evening before bedtime, your next day will be a very long one because you won't get any sleep. You won't be able to put it down.

Wade K: First Let me alert anyone buying this and other books from this author that several reviews shown below are part of an organised vendetta by one man against Mr. Linderer. I feel compelled to alert you to this in case you believe the outlandish rubbish shown in several negative reviews. Note they (bunch of fake names) all use the same "information" and seek to discredit? why would anyone buy three books by the same author and then slander them each time in the review section. The person responsibe (and his wife!) know who they are and are DISHONEST & MISLEADING! I add that I have absolutely no connection to the author and have never met or communicated with him. I just checked the facts on the internet and am disgusted by such dishonest & mischevious behaviour!

This is a fabulous book for those who want to get an idea of life in the field with the LURPS in Vietnam. UP close and personal, it doesn't gloss over shortcomings or successes.....it just paints a very sharp and personal image of the war when sldiers are face to face wit the enemy. Very much 5 stars!
