Exceptional

This is a great book from start to finish. It’s non stop action but also gives the behind the scene details of the Tet offensive and what the men faced during this time of great adversity. These were the bravest of men. Shawn Compton provides the best narration.

I couldn’t stop listening

First I want to say thank you for your service
And secondly I want to say thank you for sharing your experiences in this book

A Vietnam Classic

This has become one of my favorite books of the Vietnam war. Having a large library of books about the war, this book is right near the top of the list. The author lived the maxim of never asking your men to do some thing that you wouldn't do your self. His going into the tunnels really surprised me as most officers wouldn't do it. A good leader that cared for his men. Speaking as the enemy was obviously based on the intelligence they gathered, in the field, from enemy documents. It should required reading at West Point.

Best company commander book since McDONALDS ww 2 book Company Commander! You can almost smell and hear the the combat.

Amazing

This was truly a great book, I love Vietnam books in this was one of the best ones I’ve read. The narrator was also very good.

Truth & care of the men

I enjoyed the human side of an officer and his young men placed in his care. The history of this awful war (war in my view it was not a skirmish!) Thank you all for your service! Blessing’s to each of you, your families and friends.

The story

Need to use names not numbers even if they’re substitute names. 🙂👍 Overall I might listen again but….

A great record of our Vietnam involvement

Bask in the glory of Capt Wikan and his men during his tour in Vietnam. A time in which the hunter became the hunted and then finally the victorious hunter.
A true story that must be heard.
To all my brothers and sisters in Vietnam, we’ll done.

Great book!

It was good from beginning to end! As the book ended, I found myself wanting more!

Exciting

As a former Wolfhounds myself. A Co. 2/27. I had to give this a listen. Exciting and hilarious along the way.
