The Proud Bastards : One Marine's Journey from Parris Island through the Hell of Vietnam
reviewed on + 11 more book reviews


The first fifty pages (Parris Island) will make any "former" roar with knowing laughter. The rest of the readers may suffer from jaw drop. The description of Vietnam is a very interesting and graphic story. Only someone who has been through it could write with such clarity.
