A memoir of the Vietnam war that conveys, as much as possible, a full experience. There is a masterful balance between horrific scenes/events and less intense, sometimes even humorous episodes.
As the book progressed, I got the sense of really knowing these guys in all of their rebellious, troublemaking, heroic ways. They did what they had to do to stay alive and keep themselves sane in the process. Brokhausen minces no words; the book is raw and irreverent, and is a fitting tribute to the men who did jobs that mere mortals cannot fathom.
