A marine's account of war in Vietnam

This is as good a book about war in Vietnam and the operations around the dmz, as one will find anywhere. Mr Kelly has written a historical account, which is important not only to himself, but, for the job he was doing in directing firepower on the enemy and bringing in helicopters for medevecs. I read with a sense of joy the relationship he had with officers in the field and what a difference the environment became in the rear battalion areas, where uniformity was strictly enforced. Hardly the place for a marine, who spent so much time in the field, without adequate food or water. His stories of fallen comrades, real people, were treated very respectful and their effect on him. I highly recommend and wish Mr Kelly, peace and serenity for the rest of his life.
