This book is definately one of the best personal accounts I read. It tells the story of a SEAL not only about his time in the vietnam war. Especially the description of the Tet offensive and his struggles after the war with personal and career problems are very intense.

Alexander tells his Vietnam War story with the help of Sasser, who is another Vietnam veteran. Good read.
