About this listen

Vietnam, 1967—68.

Eighteen-year-old Marine recruit William V. Taylor, Jr. and his brother Marines are assembled into a new reaction force that is immediately tested in the fire of a bloody conflict known as Operation Beaver Cage. After a traumatic first fight, they push through back-to-back operations with little time to rest or reflect. Those who survive will return home ensnared by everlasting memories of a real but entirely surreal nightmare.

Now, after more than 50 years of holding everything in, Taylor shares his experience in explicit—and often horrific—detail and with a reverent honor for those Marines who did not live to tell the tale. Taylor reveals what it truly means to walk the path of a warrior, to sacrifice, and to live a lifetime with the memories of a war—seeking answers to the question, “Was it worth it?"

I really enjoyed this audio book. The narrator can really make or break a good book and Michael Curtis did an amazing job. This audio book for me was the complete package with story and narration. Definitely recommend.

Definitely deserved 5 stars.

This was an authentic story told simply. These guys were not trained or tactically right for Vietnam imo but were brave and did their country proud.
