Synopsis
A remarkable memoir of small-unit leadership and the coming of age of a young soldier in combat in Vietnam.' "Using a lean style and a sense of pacing drawn from the tautest of novels, McDonough has produced a gripping account of his first command, a U.S. platoon taking part in the 'strategic hamlet' program. . . . Rather than present a potpourri of combat yarns. . . McDonough has focused a seasoned storyteller's eye on the details, people, and incidents that best communicate a visceral feel of command under fire. . . . For the author's honesty and literary craftsmanship, Platoon Leader seems destined to be read for a long time by second lieutenants trying to prepare for the future, veterans trying to remember the past, and civilians trying to understand what the profession of arms is all about."- Army Times, A remarkable memoir of small-unit leadership and the coming of age of a young soldier in combat in Vietnam.'

- e***e (136)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI bought 2 lots of books from this seller; both were shipped in the same box, so I'll just repeat the feedback I left for the other half of the order: Superb packaging! I've been collecting old paperbacks for ... well, a long time, and these were the best-wrapped, best protected, best shipped box 'o books I've ever received! The books themselves were exactly as described in the photos, and the per-book value (using the advanced mathematics formula: total price / no. of books) was wonderfulJohn Dickson Carr Lot of 11 Paperback Books Mystery Crime with Dark Of The Moon (#297223970215)
- 2***f (311)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe listing was accurate with clear photos. The book was carefully wrapped. For the price, it's in good shape. I intend on reading it rather than just collecting or selling. Thanks for the eBay coupon. The issue I had was USPS's media shipping, something Lola Rose Books has no control over. This item left LRB (New Mexico) on Aug. 8. From there, it went to Albuquerque, Jersey City, Richmond, Newport News, Richmond, Norfolk, VA Beach, Richmond, Norfolk, and back to VB on Aug. 19.
- e***t (432)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI love to collect vintage paperbacks, and have been looking for this title for awhile. I thought it was an excellent find, at a good value. The seller shipped the book on time, and packaged it in a way to protect it in the shipping process. When it arrived, it was exactly as described in the listing. I would highly recommend this seller to others!
