"Meh" is the term I ascribe to this book. I mean, it has action, and good ol' Nam writing. The book, as it's written, could be better, a lot better, and perhaps expanded. As such, it is a book about war, and therefore, I can't knock it too much, hence a three-star rating. It has its good points; the author either served or conducted thorough research, as there is little to poke holes in the descriptions. He even included the difference in sound that the AK and M16 made, which made me recall a video I saw about Iraq, where you can aurally discern what is what. So that was a nice touch. As for the rest? I think less generalization would be the key word. The action keeps it going, but yeah, maybe a little more work on this book, and I'll give it a higher rating.
