Fantastic book. Though it is a fictional novel it does build off of what the author experienced himself.
A good watch if ya got a few minutes.

Excellent. I think I know which character represented his Friend.
Excellent book, but Fields of Fire is better.
Great book. One of my kids gave it to me for Christmas. Couldn't put it down.
Yes. Great book. Loved it.

One of my favorites.
Mr. Marlantes came by 1/4's CP on Camp Horno when I was there in 2017. We pulled his Navy Cross citation off the wall for him - he was visibly emotional from that gesture. He hung around for 30 min or so to BS with the junior Marines. One of those moments I won't forget.

I read it a couple of years ago.
Frankly, it was gut-wrenching. It is a window into what war is like.

incidentally, the author has a non-fiction book called "What It's Like To Go To War" that is excellent.Trinity Ag said:
