About this title

Review:

"REMARKABLE . . . This story, made even more poignant by today's headlines, can stand shoulder to shoulder with the handful of classic accounts of Marines under fire." "--Flint Journal ""In this short, readable account, Corbett describes his days at Khe Sanh in almost dispassionate prose and in great detail. . . . effectively convey[ing] the siege from a Marine grunt's point of view." "--Publishers Weekly " "From the Paperback edition."
