Echo Among Warriors: Close Combat in the Jungle of Vietnam (Book Notes)
Another Riveting War Narrative from Author & Marine, Richard Camp
Writer Dick Camp combines authentic characters, honest dialogue, and explosive action to create a vivid and harrowing account of combat, and a realistic narrative of what it was like to be a Marine in Vietnam.
Traversing three days of deadly encounters between Lima Company Marines and a North Vietnamese Army platoon holding a bunker complex near the Khe Sanh Combat Base - and seamlessly shifting between the perspective of U.S. troops and enemy fighters - Echo Among Warriors is an intense, brutal, poignant, and haunting ride.
The story's central theme is succinctly conveyed in the Author's Note: "War veterans know that words are insufficient to describe the destructive power of weaponry and the resulting, horrific wounds, the pain of a lost comrade, and the sudden realization that it could have been him. War causes a visceral, emotional impact on those who fight it. Combat is not for the faint of heart... and neither is this book!"
