An historian who has spent considerable time investigating naval special warfare in World War Two, I have wanted to get a decent handle on the Vietnam experience. This book rates high in that effort. History is messy. War is messy. No one know that better than a veteran, and McPartlin details his own descent into the shared misery with a humor and humility that sheds valuable light on his humanity. No boasting here, just straight talk, and an obvious desire to keep it honest. He covers every aspect of operations, including helo. I especially appreciate his spotlight on pilots, as I have a good friend who flew medevac.
As a medic from Desert Storm, I am interested in medic's participation it all war's, but McPartlin tells his true accounts of working with Navy Seals like no other book I have ever read from a Seal vantiage point or a medic's view. This is as action packed as it is humorous and the author tells his story with the detail like he had written it down day by day as he was there! This is a must read for anyone interested in Seal's in Vietnam or for Combat Medic's worldwide.
Difficult to put this book down, some scenes so gripping and brings to reality the real life situations faced by our Veterans and their courage and heroic acts for their fellow military
