Description
A poignant memoir that recounts the author's hair-raising--and occasionally hilarious--experiences as a young, not especially gung-ho Marine artilleryman in Vietnam. Gritty and disturbing, Bill Jones' unvarnished narrative probes the lasting physical and emotional wounds of war and offers a combat veteran's wry insight into the influence and relevance of America's long and indecisive misadventure.

The book covers the everyday life of a marine artilleryman during 1968-9; the years of the heaviest fighting in the Vietnam War. The author is also a poet and "Five Days Home" is my favorite poem. The authenticity and honesty stands out in this biographical work about enduring a tour of duty in Vietnam. An easy read and well worth your time. I recommend this book for anyone that is interested in understanding the history or war; especially the Vietnam War.
