Advance Praise

"This little book grips the reader from the beginning and does not let go. It is written with the violence and fury of Leon Uris's Battle Cry, and the tenderness and compassion of a simple poet.... It is a poignant reminder that many of the stories of that war are yet to be told. I believe it will be recognized as one of the important books to come out of that war and McCormick will rank with the other writers of his generation, equaling their intensity, integrity, and impact....With an emotional intensity that is sometimes overwhelming, Across the Pond is a short, violent, extremely powerful forty-two-page ride through hell that you will never forget." - Ron Kovic, Author of Born on the 4th of July

Short, but powerful. This is an honest and no-nonsense account of the Vietnam War from a marines point-of-view. It doesn't hold back and makes you realise just how gruesome the Vietnam War really was. A recommended read to accompany anyone interested in the war or currently studying the Vietnam war for school.
