 A brilliant read which touches the mind and heart February 7, 2006

I found this an incredible, compelling read. I'm not what you would call a big reader, but i read this within four days i enjoyed it some much. Ward manages to place you by his side for his time in Vietnam and you manage the ordeal with him. He describles his time incredibly, showing the reader both sides to the war and identifying some incidents which are beyond belief and some which are incredibly brave. Towards the end the book became quite sad when really it should be happy, showing how emotional war is. A highly recommended read.

I consumed this book in two days !! I just couldn't put it down and to the dismayal of my wife had to "just read one more page". Fascinating, thrilling and gruesome tale of a young sniper going through hell in Vietnam but still being able to maintain his integrity as a human being.Quite easy too read, and very, very catching. The author presents the story and his experiences in a very non-gung-ho way that makes it very believable and fascinating. Great book !!

I have just recently started looking into books that recount the Vietnam War experience. I thought the personal insight provided in Wards book really brought you into the war-allowing you to feel the emotions he describes. I don't presume to ever know what it was actually like, but I do think Ward paints a vivid, albeit gruesome, portrait of Vietnam.
Great July 12, 1999

Been there, but didn't do that. I was on an FO team for a short time TAD with the Korean Marines at An Hoa outpost. This book brought it all back. All I can say is thank you Mr. Ward and Welcome Home. To all Marines who served, Welcome Home.
