description: The true story of one young marine's harrowing journey from boot camp at Parris Island through the hell of combat in Vietnam during the height of the war. This is no run- of-the-mill "guts and glory" war story. Helms' powerful narrative rips off the blinders and shows war as it really is! The military details are accurate. The emotional details are extraordinary. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to know about Vietnam, about war, about life in the military.
