Customer Reviews

Best book I've ever read...

Simply put, the best book I've ever read. What's great about this book is that it covers more than just the VN war. It covers a good portion of his personal life experiences and brings in a whole range of emotions beyond just the "action aspect". Having said that, the war stories told are beyond incredible, which makes this a book you can't put down. Good style and easy-to-read. A close second to this book would be the Gone Native book.

Very intense,easy to read book.

If you were ever a soldier or enjoy books on war,soldering or any interest in the military then this book is for you. Exciting true tales of a Navy Seals tour of duties in vietnam. The missions are breath taking and adrenaline pumped. Although alot of it gun on the run gory missions,Harry also goes into the problems on the home front. Problems with a cheating lover. Back stabbing within the seals,so on and on. A great read. And its true.

Action packed

I've read dozens of Navy SEAL personal accounts of Vietnam and this ranks up there as one of the best, along with Daryl Young's "Element of Surprise" and Jim Watson's "Point Man". Most of the book deals with his battle experiences. The great thing about the book is that every op was very different and refreshing. There's not a whole lot about his training to make UDT and SEAL Team and there is a chapter or two devoted to his personal life during his Navy career and after but the book flows so well that you find yourself really liking Harry and wanting to read these things. Several chapters at the end dealt with post-nam experiences which weren't all that interesting but the writing is so engrossing for the most part that it'll keep you up at night.

FOR THE REAL STORY ON NAM-READ THIS BOOK!!!!

HARRY CONSTANCE LETS YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST. HE TAKES YOU ON A ROLLERCOASTER RIDE WITH ALL THE UPS AND THE DOWNS!! HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE TET OFFENSIVE WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! THIS WAS A HARD BOOK TO PUT DOWN, I WAS UPSET WHEN I FINISHED IT. TRY THE BOOK-YOU WON'T BE LET DOWN.

Incredible book! Could not put it down!!!

This is an incredible book detailing 3 tours as a seal, and life thereafter. The stories held me captive, and one wonders how someone can make it through these dangerous missions. Compliments to Mr. Constance, he won the war.
