Editorial ReviewsProduct Description
On the ground, in the air, and behind the lines, grunts made life-and-death decisions every day—and endured the worst stress of their young lives.
It was the tumultuous year 1968, and Robert Tonsetic was Rifle Company commander of the 4th Battalion, 12th Infantry in Vietnam. He took over a group of grunts demoralized by defeat but determined to get even. Through the legendary Tet and May Offensives, he led, trained, and risked his life with these brave men, and this is the thrilling, brutal, and honest story of his tour of duty. Tonsetic tells of leading a seriously undermanned ready-reaction force into a fierce, three-day battle with a ruthless enemy battalion; conducting surreal night airmobile assaults and treks through fetid, pitch-black jungles; and relieving combat stress by fishing with hand grenades and taking secret joyrides in Hueys.
During that fateful year, as unrest erupted at home and politicians groped for a way out of the war, Tonsetic and his men did their job as soldiers and earned the title “Warriors.” |

  Good reading.., May 21, 2010
I enjoyed this book. It was interesting to read about the day to day life of a Vietnam soldier and how they were subject to completing sometimes very dangerous duties.

Good fast read, April 25, 2009
This book was short and too the point and exactly what I was looking for. It was an easy fast read and CPT Tonsetic sounds like he had a solid grasp of what was going on at the time. Anyone looking to step into a grunts shoes for a while this is good book for you. Any modern grunts like myself ,in the middle of my second Iraq tour, who nedd to be reminded someone always had it a bit tougher this is also a good book.

Very True story, October 18, 2008
There is no doubt that this person was there and went thrught it. Brought back a lot of memories both good and bad. Was with the 1st Infantry Division in 68-69 and knew a lot of the places he was talking about. Very good book.

Thouroughly Enjoyable, August 28, 2008
I read this book in an effort to remember my tour of service in Vietnam back in 1969. Being a member of the 199th I wanted to see if it would re-awaken memories. I found it extremely enjoyable.. well written.. and a very good book. For anyone who wants to know what Vietnam was like I recommend it highly. Fast reading, engrossing, and kept me flipping pages throughout. |
