Synopsis
A remarkable memoir of small-unit leadership and the coming of age of a young soldier in combat in Vietnam.' "Using a lean style and a sense of pacing drawn from the tautest of novels, McDonough has produced a gripping account of his first command, a U.S. platoon taking part in the 'strategic hamlet' program. . . . Rather than present a potpourri of combat yarns. . . McDonough has focused a seasoned storyteller's eye on the details, people, and incidents that best communicate a visceral feel of command under fire. . . . For the author's honesty and literary craftsmanship, Platoon Leader seems destined to be read for a long time by second lieutenants trying to prepare for the future, veterans trying to remember the past, and civilians trying to understand what the profession of arms is all about."- Army Times, A remarkable memoir of small-unit leadership and the coming of age of a young soldier in combat in Vietnam.'

- e***e (132)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI bought 2 lots of books from this seller; both were shipped in the same box, so I'll just repeat the feedback I left for the other half of the order: Superb packaging! I've been collecting old paperbacks for ... well, a long time, and these were the best-wrapped, best protected, best shipped box 'o books I've ever received! The books themselves were exactly as described in the photos, and the per-book value (using the advanced mathematics formula: total price / no. of books) was wonderful
- e***t (430)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI love to collect vintage paperbacks, and have been looking for this title for awhile. I thought it was an excellent find, at a good value. The seller shipped the book on time, and packaged it in a way to protect it in the shipping process. When it arrived, it was exactly as described in the listing. I would highly recommend this seller to others!
- w***a (455)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI'm so happy with everything about this purchase! The price was very good, the book was in New condition (I bought it at a used price, but the book is new), and packaged with care- safe against rain and very secure. ALSO, I am surprised how fast the package arrived! I seen ''media mail" so I figured it would take awhile, but I had it by the end of the week. I am SO happy with this seller! Thank you!!
