Negative Positive
Title: Propoganda and hearsay
Review: I purchased this book thinking that it would give me either:a) a personal glimpse into the world of the Marine Sniperb) a report of stories and circumstances of the Marine Sniper from an objective source.The book offered neither of these. It appears Culbertson is writing from the perspective of one who was there, but had little involvement. He speaks at the beginning of the book, of a get together with some of his sniper buddies many years after the war. One gets the impression this book was written as a result of this get together. I would like so much to have read about the authors experiences rather than much of the politicialy commentary and Marine propaganda that the book expounds upon. The book really taught me nothing about what these men went through. It represents the vague recollections of the author's and other experiences. Not enough meat in it for my liking.
Is the review positive or negative?
