About this listen
Among the best books ever written about men in combat, The Killing Zone tells the story of the platoon of Delta One-six, capturing what it meant to face lethal danger, to follow orders, and to search for the conviction and then the hope that this war was worth the sacrifice. The book includes a new chapter on what happened to the platoon members when they came home.

I have read and/or listened to many books about the Vietnam War. This is one of the best. A confronting and brutal account of soldiering in Vietnam. Highly recommended.

The killing zone
Brilliantly worded. I couldn’t put it down. So sorry to hear it end. I will get the other books he wrote.

Great story
Loved the story, gripping, entertaining and informative everything you want from a war memoir.
Although the astonishing overused racist names grated on my attention on the drama, that and the only ever time I’ve heard a soldier big noting the killing of “the enemy” inc women and children has made me question a few time during the book if I wanted to listen to the rest. I did and am glad I did.

Amazing
Compulsory listening for those who want to understand what it was like to be a combat soldier in the Vietnam war. Dramatic stories. Thoughtful reflections. Amazingly told and written. Could not stop listening. Highly recommended but not for the faint hearted.
