The Winter Marines

"(The Winter Marines) … is an absolutely riveting story that gives the reader an opportunity to see part of the Vietnam War from the disparate points of view of a Vietnamese village and a Marine squad. It's a rare and exciting contrast of attitudes that have been lacking in most novels about the war; a contrast that Allen Glick weaves among some of the most gripping battle scenes I've ever read. The author then follows two survivors of the squad as they attempt to resume life back home. This part is equally powerful, portraying their trials so clearly and humanely that the effect is nothing less than enlightening. Allen Glick's powerful writing style convincingly reveals a deep and hard-won understanding of the Vietnam veteran experience. This is a book you may never forget." Robert Mason, Chickenhawk
