Thouroughly Enjoyable

I read this book in an effort to remember my tour of service in Vietnam back in 1969. Being a member of the 199th I wanted to see if it would re-awaken memories. I found it extremely enjoyable.. well written.. and a very good book. For anyone who wants to know what Vietnam was like I recommend it highly. Fast reading, engrossing, and kept me flipping pages throughout.

Very True story

There is no doubt that this person was there and went thrught it. Brought back a lot of memories both good and bad. Was with the 1st Infantry Division in 68-69 and knew a lot of the places he was talking about. Very good book.

We owe a tremendous debt to the warriors , so we can live in peace..

A real personal and up close look at what Warriors go through when fighting in military combat. It has often been said that,"War is Hell" and this book comes as close as possible to describing what battle in an infantry Company is like.
The author was a highly trained soldier ,ready to use his skills and everything else he could muster;to lead his men into battle ,defeat the enemy and get as many of his men home safely as possible.
He spent 9 months ,fighting battles in Vietnam,in 1968 during the bloodiest months of the war. While this was going on, he was totally aware of the politics of the war that was being fought out in the anti-war protests in the streets and on the campuses of America.He was also fully aware of the politics that were also being played over the war.
The author was not only a dedicated hero,but he is able to convey to the reader what it was like to be there.As strong a person as he was,we can see that a human being can take only so much stress of battle when he is in a position that his last breath may only be an instant away...and to be subjected to this for 9 months.
There are endless ways to look a the whole business of war;but to the people who sacrifice their all for the freedom of others;we owe them our greatest gratitude, thanks,and respect.
When you talk about service to one's country;Robert Tonsetic shows what it really means.

On the ground, in the air, and behind the lines, grunts made life-and-death decisions every day?and endured the worst stress of their young lives.

It was the tumultuous year 1968, and Robert Tonsetic was Rifle Company commander of the 4th Battalion, 12th Infantry in Vietnam. He took over a group of grunts demoralized by defeat but determined to get even. Through the legendary Tet and May Offensives, he led, trained, and risked his life with these brave men, and this is the thrilling, brutal, and honest story of his tour of duty. Tonsetic tells of leading a seriously undermanned ready-reaction force into a fierce, three-day battle with a ruthless enemy battalion; conducting surreal night airmobile assaults and treks through fetid, pitch-black jungles; and relieving combat stress by fishing with hand grenades and taking secret joyrides in Hueys.

During that fateful year, as unrest erupted at home and politicians groped for a way out of the war, Tonsetic and his men did their job as soldiers and earned the title ?Warriors.?
