Book by: Sergeant Walker
For the Marine Corps grunts, the Snuffys, in the Southland of Vietnam, Riverine warfare in the Delta region took on many different shapes and forms. The coastal islands, mangrove and nipa-palm
swamps, creeks, rivers, a bewildering maze of inland waterways, and the Vietnamese jungle, imposed an extraordinary military challenge.
Riverines were not “heroes”, only men doing what they had been trained to do, and to survive meant being one of the lucky ones, nothing more nothing less.

Thankfully this is truly the real deal, and not the usual wannabe garbage from the keyboard warriors.
Straight from the shoulder stuff. A book by a soldier written for other soldiers.
Une lecture livre vaut.
Amazingly authentic and from a soldiers point of view highly accurate.
The best war and military read on Booksie.
Escritura excelente como siempre.
Great start! I was wondering if you could read the first chapter of my book. I could really use a good writer's criticism and critiques. Thank you!
For once something real and truthful about the Vietnam war, love the book!
This book is best described by using the words from other veterans who have read it.
" Straight from the shoulder".
"Graphically brutal".
"Vividly authentic".
And from me, " It details the day-to-day struggle to survive in the Southland of War torn Vietnam".
I must say... I started on Chapter 1... and here I am on Chapter fucking 30. Sir, this is really gripping and I would consider you an extremely talented writer. Please get this printed and published.
Best damn Vietnam War autobiography for years!
Brother.
Your reminiscences of Boot Camp and fighting Charlie are hard hitting and accurate.
Nothing has changed for the average soldier. It is the same now as it was then.
You do great justice to the lads you served with.
Hilarious story, well written.
Roman formidable!
Merveilleuse histoire sur une personne réelle.En particulier, Édith Piaf.
I want to join the Marines in the future, and hopefully make it into the recon marines. I like this because it gives me a good look at how it was for soldiers of that time.
Superb writing.
