Marines at Their Finest

The editorial reviews explain rather well what a CAP Marine was and what they did during the Vietnam war. It's the oral histories taken down by the author that add a face on those heroes that came home alive to tell about those that didn't. You've read before the horror of war, but when you read these guy's stories, you'll wonder how any of them came home alive. Nothing is sugar coated. Nothing is politically correct. It all hangs out just like it went down some 40 years ago.
This book is not just another war story. It really is about a war that was different. It cut hard and cut deep when one of the stories was about someone I knew that didn't come home alive. So if you're a vet and think you've been there, seen it, and done it all, read this one.
