Autorenporträt
David Arocha has a diminutive stature of five feet two inches and weighs only 103 pounds . . . Boot camp and combat will be times of hardship and tears. With the naiveté of youth, he has no clue where South Vietnam is other than it is in Southeast Asia. The cause of his country's fight holds no relevance other than it is a place to prove his manhood. His combat tour will begin in July 1967 with Kilo Company, Third Battalion, Third Regiment, Third Marine Division. Arocha will soon experience over a dozen battles and firefights and more than forty shellings from enemy guns . . . Arocha will take you to the lower rungs of the field Marine. He guides you through the misery, privation, and terrors of sudden combat. Arocha is an average Marine seeing death and destruction on a massive scale.
