MEKONG

While above reviewers apparently were concerned enough to try and verify this person was a SEAL, they must have forgotten the disclaimer that name, places , etc. were changed and embellished. The take i got was it seemed like a combination ofmany different seals stories. Much like what Oliver Stone did with his movie Platoon, and Richard Marcinko did with his books. Actually i felt it had a Richard Marcinko feel to it. Realistic and very action packed.

an outstanding account of navy seals in viet nam

I read this book shortly after publication in the 1980's. This is one of the best accounts of navy seal ops in viet nam. next to 'the five fingers", it is probably one of the best novels about the war period:I was there. This one is full of action.
