Zero Dark Thirty

Rating:
Summary: Damned good honest graphic read - highly recommended
Review: This is a book by a Marine aviator and captain who was assigned as a forward air controller with the Marine infantry (grunts) in the jungles of Vietnam. It depicts honestly and graphically what he experienced during his 7 months as a FAC. It gives rare insight into Marine aviation and the shameful way our combat hero veterans were/are treated when they returned to the US. Semper Fi!

Summary: A candidly honest exposition into the lethal and bloody hell
Review: Zero Dark Thirty is a military memoir of the Vietnam War, by Samuel Brantley, who was a United States Marine Corps combat aviator. The Marines required their combat aviators in Vietnam to spend time doing forward air control duty on the ground, with and along side the field troops in the front line danger zone. As a result, Brantley received a shocking awakening to the true horrors of war, and his seven months on the ground would significantly impact upon the rest of his life. Zero Dark Thirty is highly recommended for being a powerfully written, vividly presented, and candidly honest exposition into the lethal and bloody hell that was the Vietnam War.
