Unlike other branches of the military, the Marine Corps required some of its combat aviators in Vietnam to spend time doing forward air control duty on the ground, with the frontline troops. For Captain Sam Brantley, it was a harsh and horrific lesson in the realities of jungle warfare. The battle had always seemed somewhat distant to him, flying well-armed A4s hundreds of feet above the trees and paddies. But during the spring of the Tet Offensive, Brantley's war changed. What he would see and do in those seven months on the ground would change his life forever. In the tradition of Michael Herr's award-winning Dispatches, Samuel Brantley breaks new ground in this edgy, irreverent memoir of a young man's evolution from a wide-eyed Marine aviation cadet dedicated to flying and serving his country, to a battle-weary veteran struggling to re-enter civilian life in post-Vietnam America. Along the way, Brantley treats his readers to a parallax view of war and the military—from the air, the ground, and the inside-out.

Zero Dark Thirty
During reading this book I began to realize and really understand that the rest of the war books I have read do not NEARLY compare to the detail and sad understanding of what this book gives to you. You hear the stories of what a vet has gone through. He tells the story with such detail that you could almost pictures what he is going through. But you can't. Nobody can unless you are in his spot. Other books really do not show this side of the story. It is a book that you can't put down no matter how much you want to during a certain time. You don't want to know what happens at the same time you do. It is definitely a book that is worth reading if you find interest in a first hand source of war experiences.
