Not the most interesting story, but worth reading.
Read this recently and, for the most part, liked it. Don't expect anything riveting, or on-the-edge-of-your-seat. It is a good story dealing with Eric Smith's experience as a junior leader, the product of Army ROTC at Georgetown University.

This review is from: Not by the Book (Hardcover)
Read this recently and, for the most part, liked it. Don't expect anything riveting, or on-the-edge-of-your-seat. It is a good story dealing with Eric Smith's experience as a junior leader, the product of Army ROTC at Georgetown University. Smith gains a slot to the Army's military intelligence arm, something highly sought after among ROTC graduates. The story is a brief memoir of Smith's experiences while stationed in Chu Lai. Not a bad book to read while on a long flight. Easy reading, but if you're interested in reading something exciting about Vietnam, recommend you read something else.
