Bolger is filled with contradictions and obvious political Bias

Revisado: 05-16-23

Book reads like a speech given at an awards ceremony and not a very good one. The Hagals are a an exceptional Brothers and their story is the backdrop for Bolger to give his slanted political opine. Bolger is left leaning and filled with vitriol towards Nixon. He leaves out the fact that Nixon’s actions got Hanoi scrambling to the negotiation table and us out of the war. He leaves out the Easter offensive when the South Vietnamese held off the North’s largest offensive ever without the help of the US troops; and that Congress would no longer fund resupplying the South Vietnamese nor would they continue to pledge air support. Bolger is quite sympathetic to the Black Panther Party, cop killers, and Vietcong Guerrillas; but a harsher critic to US Military and law enforcement. I wonder if he went to school with General Milley

Quintessential Crime story

Revisado: 05-08-23

The author has you believing and makes you feel like
Your in the room as the events go down. Narration could not be better. Easy to see that Parker has influenced so many screen characters over the last 60 years

A credible story

Revisado: 01-24-23

I remember these incidents as they were carried in the news. Unfortunately it was not at all surprising how it played out. A story of politics and Careerism devastating our finest fighting service. Galvin is a quintessential spec ops XO. He gives a painfully honest account of his early life and is colorful in his description of events in the story. As a somewhat cynical person the closest thing I have of criticism of this amazing man is that he put too much faith and credence into an institution. If the US Military loses its Fred Galvins then the nation is in deep trouble.

Authentic Americana

Revisado: 01-31-21

Author gets right to the story with just enough background to get you up to point. While he seems matter of fact he is gives the reader an intimate look into his family and his warrior band of brothers. 5000 hours flight time in Vietnam. Descriptive writing puts you in the Loach helicopter, I found myself holding on to whatever I could in crash descriptions. The last chapter brought out deep emotions. A very good book and an amazing story

Time well spent

Fascinating true story that needed to be told by Chamberlain. Gilmore’s Narration voice was complimentary to this epic story.

Authentic Eloquent

Revisado: 10-22-20

I found this to be an honest account of the “Bush Marine”. Amazing story telling ability, the Narration was spot on. While it seemed to be a thorough account the prose were eloquent and poetic like a fine novel even though the subject matter was harsh and gritty. I’m usually quite cynical yet I find Delezen to be honest and without a political spin. I highly recommend

The struggle was real

Revisado: 08-06-18

O’Reilly’s book attaches relevant personalities to the Historical figures; he makes them feel real while giving you 18th century perspective.
