I was 5 yrs. old when the Viet Nam war ended. I've often wondered about what happened there? I never knew that the US Marines worked in programs such as the CAC/CAP special forces units. this book made my skin crawl as I felt I was there! I recommend this as a read for anyone like me, wanting to know about Viet Nam!

Buy this book and you will be taken back to Vietnam. This book isnt hollywoodized. It is one mans account and feelings this is his life. The author isnt polished but he is genuine. He lets you feel as he did this is not the story of a hero although he is it is about a very young man growing up quickly adapting to change and surviving once you pick it up you wont put it down. What you will do is laugh, cry, and do a lot of thinking. Most of us know someone who was in vietnam and while no man lived the experience exactly the same there were many similarities. Read this story as its told through the eyes of Private Flynn. You wont regret it.

I was the "Hospital Corspman aka 'Doc' " in Tom Flynn's Vietnam story. He did complete justice to the soldiers actual experience! The names were changed, but I can testify to the incidents that he wrote about. Once I started reading the book, I couldn't put it down until I finished. Get the book... You won't be disappointed.
