Publisher's Summary
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 storyteller's eye on the details, people, and incidents that best communicate a visceral feel of command under fire.... For the author'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." ( Army Times)

Excellent memoir
Narrator was very good. He captured the gruff Vietnam platoon commander persona very well. Story was descriptive, exciting and heart felt. Amazing work.
