5.0 out of 5 stars A Journey that Needed to be Shared, July 3, 2009
This review is from: Stand To ...: A Journey to Manhood (Paperback)
Vietnam veteran and author E. Franklin Evans has captured something very special in his personal war memoir, "Stand To...A Journey to Manhood". We get a good glimpse back into the life and times of a "young man" caught in the vortex of war. The reader is treated to a well written accounting of his experiences surviving both the traumas of battles and people. It is historic, personal and entertaining.

This is one of this decade's "Top 10 Best Memoirs" on the Vietnam War experience. The story is emotionally presented through the eyes of a young Army officer - but it is clearly written with the introspection of a much older author. He looks back at that time and place in his life in an attempt to understand and come to grips with these events. It is truly a journey and one that most readers will find well worth taking with this author.

The book gives us some insights on what it was like in one of the remote Special Forces Camps. The readers will find themselves fully engaged and on the edge of their seats as they read about the heavy fighting that took place in and around these camps. The book is about life and death and about those brave young men who lived and died a long time ago. But it is obvious that these events for men like Evans, will never seem that long ago. In their hearts and minds it is just like it happened yesterday.

This book gets my fullest personal endorsement and recommendation.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Frank Evans has done a fabulous job of bringing to real life the experience of growing to manhood in combat. As a combat veteran of the Viet Nam war, I was reminded of my own experiences. If you know a Viet Nam veteran, you should read this book!
