Matterhorn is well written and I felt like I was in the middle of the conflicts in Vietnam. It is a page turner and reflects the challenges facing our Marines as the higher brass pushed our soldiers to take positions that exposed them to untimely deaths. Our main character survives and the the narrator as well as sharing his internal experience. It was a long book but worth the time. I did not have to go to Vietnam in the early 60's but I had a greater appreciation for what our military faced during those years
