Good steady recounting of Kittleson's secret missions to save WWII and Vietnam POW's. First hand account, through Sasser, of the Son Tay training and raid. The Son Tay raiders will forever be one of the most astonishing groups in American history.
A really enjoyable and educational book about the first black tanker companies utilized in WW2. This books goes into some very interesting details concerning segregation and their experiences at home and in Europe.
Recommended Book That Allows Our Respect In Military Service Men To Grow
The Walking Dead: A Marine’s Story of Vietnam by Craig Roberts and Charles W. Sasser
Publication Date: January 1989
Not Rated
R - Violence, Sexual Content, Profanity
Recommended
19 year old US Marine PFC Craig Roberts is a rifleman, recon leader, sniper, and your ordinary grunt trying to stay alive long enough to get back home from Vietnam. The crossing of the Da Nang River in July of 1965 marked the beginning of a long, depressing, horrific and deadly tour of duty for the 9th Marines. They entered high in spirits and strong in numbers, most left in body bags or on stretchers. The Walking Dead takes you deep into the Vietnam jungle where the Marines grow bonds far stronger than mere friendship while fighting against the evil, vile, horrific attacks and tortures of the NVA.
The Walking Dead is a great book for a reader looking for a better understanding of Vietnam Vets. This book brought you up close to evil, horror, fear, exhaustion, and fake lighthearted humor needed to survive the war mentally intact. Military Nonfiction/Biographies are such great books to help boost our respect for service men. You follow a group a guys who not only lean on each other for psychical survival reasons but for mental strength in a time where you could easily go crazy. They feel forlorn and lonely, and some do fall into companionship temptation. Some try to numb the hurt and sadness with drugs or alcohol but many instead looked for hope and joy in family members. And many didn’t make it home. These things are not only eerie and depressing, but true and real consternations. Then you must realize that they did it all for you. Soldiers fighting to protect us is one of the greatest gifts we Americans have and The Walking Dead is a book in which the first hand accounts of the terror of war aids us in growing respect for the brave men who fought in it.
I recommend The Walking Dead for its ability to assist in the growth of respect for the military, but I suggest that this book be read by older teen readers because of the violence, sexual content, and because the f-word is used at least once on almost every page.
