Review # 1 was written on 2010-08-13 00:00:00 Florian Otto I thought this book was quite good. I received it a few years ago as a gift from the author, a fellow Annapolis grad and now deceased. The father of a close friend was among those consulted as was former Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Elmo Zumwalt. Blake Lawrence, the novel's protagonist, like the author was assigned as an advisor to the South Vietnamese Navy in the Rung Sat Special Zone near Saigon during the early 1970's. It presents a gritty portrait that complements Gary Blinn's Confession to a Deaf God: Memoir of a Mekong River Rat. Blinn's narrative is more autobiographical; I'm curious as to how much of Nelson's narrative is. Obviously much less so, given it's structured as more of an action story, but there must be some autobiographical elements. Either way, I wish I could have had a chance to ask the author.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-04 00:00:00 Rodina Lynch Really quite an interesting read/ informative for those living in the Northern Kentucky area. I park at the bottom of the hill where the Supper Club was, and its haunting really to think about how many people lost their lives there. My father told me a story about how he had to drop his friend's mom off that night because she was a nurse and they needed anyone who could help. He said it was one of the craziest scenes he as ever witnessed in his life.
