Publisher Description
“The best damned book from the point of view of the infantrymen who fought there.”—Army Times
Among the best books ever written about men in combat, The Killing Zone tells the story of the platoon of Delta One-six, capturing what it meant to face lethal danger, to follow orders, and to search for the conviction and then the hope that this war was worth the sacrifice. The book includes a new chapter on what happened to the platoon members when they came home.

Excellent read,A real insight into this war and how it changed so many lives,on both sides a true inspiration.To read of the hardships and loss and the everyday close calls it's a wonder anybody ever came home at all.
Review
I could not put this book down, every page keep me engaged which is not an easy task. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot about the war and glimpses of your days/nights must have been like, but more importantly about the returning veterans and the challenges that the wounded and the non-wounded had after the war. It was important that you recorded this period of time but I'm again struck by our ongoing need to fight the next enemy with such a high cost of life and damage on both sides. I hope all is well with you and again thanks for sharing your experiences.
