Platoon Leader

Platoon Leader
- Used Book in Good Condition
A remarkable memoir of small-unit leadership and the coming of age of a young soldier in combat in Vietnam.'

"Using a lean style and a sense of pacing drawn from the tautest of novels, McDonough has produced a gripping account of his first command, a U.S. platoon taking part in the 'strategic hamlet' program. . . . Rather than present a potpourri of combat yarns. . . McDonough has focused a seasoned storytellerâ‚¬s eye on the details, people, and incidents that best communicate a visceral feel of command under fire. . . . For the authorâ‚¬s honesty and literary craftsmanship, Platoon Leader seems destined to be read for a long time by second lieutenants trying to prepare for the future, veterans trying to remember the past, and civilians trying to understand what the profession of arms is all about.â‚¬Ââ‚¬â€œArmy Times
