battles in the Monsoon

those of us who were there know what it like to be in combat in the central highlands. If you weren't there Marshall's realistic writting will put you there. His words are as close as you want to be. Life and death small unit engagements in the jungle and on the artillery firebases. The gripping sacrifices of soldiers facing death is all to personal. Marshall puts names on faces and their faces stare out at you from the numerous photographs. A must read book concentrating on the actual small units under fire in 1966 Viet-Nam
