FULL CIRCLE (Free Shipping)
A Marine Rifle Company in Vietnam
Drif back to 1966 and follow G Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment on combat patrol through the jungles near the DMZ and the rice paddies of Quang Nam Province in Vietnam as they thrust and parry against their main adversaries, the North Vietnamese Army and the R-20 Main Force Viet Cong Battalion. Ponder the many images this book pulls into sharper focus: a young Marine rifleman apologizing for getting hit; a machine gun team breaking the back of an ambush with a stream of luminous steel from an M-60; a Buddhist priest's gift to the Marines; a staff sergeant platoon commander charging an enemy position as if it was the end zone at a touch football game; a former VC soldier's tale of alienation and redemption; a platoon sergeant leading an assault across a manioc field through heavy fire at his lieutenant's command; a dying squad leader's last words. Hear the fallen—those whose voices have been stilled forever—speak to us from the pages of this unique memoir.


More to explore: Alan Waugh has compiled an excellent historical CD of the United States Marine Corps at An Hoa Combat Base in Quang Nam Province from 1966 through 1971. The CD introduces the reader to all the participants - both US and VC/NVA - who fought in the rice fields, villages, and neighboring mountains. Visit Site
