5.0 out of 5 stars Dye is The Real Deal-----Semper Fi, August 6, 2005

This review is from: Platoon (Paperback)

On Memorial Day this year, I went back in time and reread "Platoon" by Capt. Dale Dye. It was unreal----a trip back to my year in RVN.
Dale Dye captures the atmosphere and the reality of this important war for America in his book like no other Vietnam book. He writes like the warrior he was in Vietnam---lean and hard.
I would recommend this book as required reading for all American history students in high school and college. This is the war where America defined the warfare of today. This is the book that describes that turning point of America's will for a full scale war.
A well deserved 5 stars for the service Dye did in Vietnam and for writing this book. Semper Fi!!!

Platoon tells the story of a platoon in the nam. From the start to the end it is action and all too realistic. The storyline is fantastic. My fav book of all time.
