Inside Force Recon

I can honestly say "it's like being there" because I was.As a member of 1st Force Recon '70-'71 I filed opperations reports after each mission and to see them printed as a book has blown me away. It was an honor to serve with these men and in our unit, now it's part of USMC history. Cpl. M.A.Hobbs (I'm in the book) 1st. Force Recon, DaNang '70-'71

It tells what it's like.

This book is very accurte. It tells the storys of the Recon Marines. I was a rifleman in the Marines and alaways wondered what the recon was like, this told me. This is a very good book and I would read it if I hadn't already.
