I had not known much of the information in this book beforehand and now have a better appreciation for what happens off the field.

Why we think it’s a great listen: A performance so poignant, we gave Bronson Pinchot (yes, Balki from Perfect Strangers) our inaugural Narrator of the Year award.... In the monsoon season of 1968-69 at a fire support base called Matterhorn, located in the remote mountains of Vietnam, a young and ambitious Marine lieutenant wants to command a company to further his civilian political ambitions. But two people stand in his way.

Brings forward the reality of the Vietnam War
Revisado: 02-26-12
Matterhorn chronicles the gut-wrenching existences of a company of Marines at war in the jungle of Vietnam. It is mainly seen through the eyes of a young second lieutenant Mellas who is transformed by the callused and extraordinary reality of the Vietnam War that is difficult to understand without having experienced it. Marlantes, who did experience it, tells his story in a personal manner that envelopes the listener in the lives of each of the Marines. They see and enact extraordinary courage, fear, longing, suffering, and sacrifice. Meaning in their missions is often elusive, and they live in the constant shadow of death’s indiscretion and seemingly random timing. This all takes place with the backdrop of the struggle in differences in class, race, and the military hierarchy. The Vietnam was a war before my time, and Marlantes brings it forward to the present, adding a realism that is not fully portrayed by major Hollywood films.
