Review
"You may not be able to read this... I am writing it in a hurry. I see death coming up the hill..." -letter home from a soldier on Hamburger Hill; "[Zaffiri] skillfully blends his narrative with anecdotal material. It is the many chilling, sometimes poignant, vignettes that make the addition of this volume to any soldier's bookshelf a must." -Military Review; "Vietnam combat veteran Samuel Zaffiri... presents the action and decision making at Ap Bia in remarkably forceful detail." -Vietnam Magazine; Eighth book in the series of ibooks editions originally published by Presidio Press, the foremost publisher of Military History in the U.S.
