Go with the Marines of Charlie Co. as they search the paddies and treelines of Vietnam for the feared, hated, respected and elusive enemy whom they refer to as the "little people". Experience the gut-twisting tension of moving through rain, fog, and night, or the smothering heat of day with every pore jittering on edge, listening, looking. From out of the things that could happen and the things that do happen, between the mistakes and the breaks, and from his memories of the men who die and the ones who live, Rodriguez has written a collection of short stories that ranks at the top, among the very best of writings about the Vietnam War. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to know what the War was for the men who fought it.
