The Price of Honor

Review: This a must read.Another book that kept me awake at night. Once I picked it up it was hard to put down. I kept wanting to read one more chapter. Col. Hackworth did not pull any punches.Many mistake were made in The Nam, and very few commanders wanted to take the blame for anything. Many of our BRAVE young men did not come home because of these mistakes. Roadrunner6 Out

Summary: Present Day Military Thriller
Review: Hackworth spins a great tale combining SPECOPS, Beltway Politics and a little romance to boot. A very good story. This is my first Hackworth novel but it sure won't be my last!

Rating:
Summary: Good Fiction!
Review: I like Hack's style. He's a good story teller and his writing ability is top notch. You will find this work of fiction as compelling as Hack's non-fiction. Fans of the war novel will enjoy the action sequences and the characters. Hack is more genuine than Clancy and refreshingly different than Marcinko. (although I like both authors very much) I look forward to more from Hack and I recommend this one highly.

Summary: Hackworth hits the target again.
Review: David Hackworth is not just another retired Army Colonel writing a book. His credentials in writing this novel are displayed on every page. I have read his previous books and just finished reading The Price of Honor immediately after reading Grisham's The Bretheren. Both were good books but Hackworth's was better. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I liked everything about it including the brief entry and reference to real life personalities. It is truly a fast paced, action packed novel that has a ring of credibility on every page. I notice a previous review stated that the ending was not believable. I beg to differ, for a novel, in my opinion the ending was more believable than Grisham's The Bretheren (although I would give that book a high rating also). In this book Hackworth deals with the Vietnam War,the country's wars since that time, soldiers and officers and the military/industrial complex. The latter is particular noteworthy when considering the recent crash of the V-22 Osprey. Colonel Hackworth does a masterful job and I would recommend this book everyone I know.
