How it was

Ron Flesch's Redwood Delta is a well-written account of his and his compatriots' experiences in Vietnam in 1965 and early 1966. The attention to detail is reminiscent of Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried", and the matter-of-fact writing style in Flesch's first book seems to bare his soul, but in the words of an almost dispassionate observer. A non-fiction account of their experiences, it is a refreshing and terrifying tale of the Marine platoon's daily life and death in the early years of America's combat troops' involvement in the Viet Nam conflict. I recommend it for students of the Viet Nam era, and for veterans who care to understand the early development of America's role in the war.
