"Your stories of combat are timeless and will resonate with warriors across the generations, from Vietnam and Afghanistan." -- General James N. Mattis, USMC, Commander in Chief, U.S. Central Command. "If 'war is hell,' Barry Fixler discovered an even grimmer inferno in Vietnam. A riveting, incomparable, firsthand account of a combat Marine's experiences and the intriguing aftermath effects on a young warrior." -- Selwyn Raab, author. "No book to date covers a Marine's journey before during and after the Vietnam conflict with so much depth, understanding and passion as Barry Fixler's Semper Cool." -- Dan Lauria, USMC (ret.), AKA "Jack Arnold" The Wonder Years. "Semper Cool provides tremendous insight into the role the experience of war can play in the development of loyalty, morality and courage. Barry Fixler has enabled non-combatants like me to understand how service in Vietnam could transform a clueless adolescent into a man of honor." -- Rital Tavel Fogelman, Director, West Nyack Free Library. "This is a powerful and raw book about one man's experience of war in Vietnam. It is unflinching, direct and scary on several different levles." -- John D., book blogger, layersofthought dot net. "Semper Cool is the very gritty story of a young man's journey from the comforts of suburban Long Island to the killing machine of Vietnam and back again. This man is wired differently from most people. Painful but riveting!" -- Hattie Finkel, advance reader. "Semper Cool is the wrenching, sometimes hilarious and always thought-provoking true story of a mischievous teenager who enlists in the U.S. Marine Corps seeking adventure and his father's approval and finds both, plus more danger than he ever could have imagined. Barry Fixler gets molded into a Marine at boot camp and sent to Vietnam, where he is assigned to a company that would soon etch its place in Marine Corps lore at the legendary Siege of Khe Sanh. With its vivid imagery, Semper Cool thrusts readers into a "grunt's-eye view" of the blood, guts, tears and laughter of war, as told by a Marine who returned home a proud, patriotic man. Be prepared to laugh and cry and ultimately thank God for the men and women willing to sacrifice their lives for the freedoms that so many Americans enjoy." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
