Download Platoon Leader: A Memoir of Command in Combat AudioBook Free
A remarkable memoir of small-unit control and the arriving of age of a young soldier in combat in Vietnam. "Using a slim style and a sense of pacing drawn from the tautest of novels, McDonough has produced a gripping bank account of his first order, a U.S. platoon taking part in the 'tactical hamlet' program.... Rather than present a potpourri of combat yarns...McDonough has focused a seasoned storyteller's eyesight on the details, people, and occurrences that best communicate a visceral feel of order under fire.... For the author's integrity and literary workmanship, Platoon Head seems destined to be read for years by second lieutenants trying to prepare for future years, veterans trying to remember the past, and civilians trying to understand the particular profession of forearms is focused on."
