Great book from a grunt A terriffic take on a soldier's tour of Vietnam. The writing is clean and crisp. Alternately funny, chilling and heartbreaking. Snapsot chapters deliver quick, efficient punches of the bigger story. It was a joy to read. I laughed out loud. I cried, I smiled. I wondered. This book is a gift. Lord admits he was surprised later in life to realize how much of his success as a leader he owed to his time as and infantry sergeant in Vietnam. Well written---capturing the heartache and frustration of surviving a useless war.
