Review title: Great Vietnam memoir
Product review: I am actually a student of WWII, so this book (received as a gift) was something different to read. Larry Gwin's book was for me a startling introduction to fighting an often unseen enemy, in a jungle environment horribly alien for the young Americans who found themselves there. Pleasantly avoiding the politics of the war, and instead concentrating on one man's view of the combat, Gwin takes you from his naive first jungle patrols to his combat weary veteran status at the end of his tour. As the casualties mount, and the men around him either die, return wounded or get promoted, Gwin becomes increasingly important to the men around him - a cool experienced head in difficult times.The language is plain and everyman, allowing the reader to move quickly through the book from one engegement to another.A thoroughly enjoyable memoir, and an eye-opener to the horrors of air-cavalry combat in South East Asia.
