About this listen
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.

Insightful and though provoking
The narrator takes you into the jungle and some of the scenes leave you chilled. Gripping but also really educates you on what it was like to be there.

Good
This book is a hard hitting genuine account of a soldier's war in Vietnam.
With cool reflection of the aftermath of being in a doomed conflict.
Definitely worth the read.
