DRAMATIC. HONEST. UNFORGETTABLE.This is the powerful, explosive, and poignant true story of the men of Redwood Delta, and of their courage and valor in the face of death-dealing battles. Told from the perspective of a former Marine grunt and in novelistic style, the author takes the reader through his experiences, beginning with an amphibious landing on a Vietnamese beach in 1965.Detailed and emotionally charged, Redwood Delta recounts the action and horror of his journeys through Vietnamese jungles, and of excruciating waiting done in mud-filled foxholes. From touching encounters with Vietnamese children, to his heart-stopping experiences of being stalked by the enemy, Ron Flesch brings it all back home in a stark, no-holds-barred narrative.“Remarkable for showing the American fighting man at his best: courageous, skillful and resolute. Graphic action on almost every page reveals the joys of small-unit infantry combat—field operations day and night in heat, rain and mud, attack, defense, ambush, scouting, patrolling, the ballistic crack of small arms fire, the whump of mortars and grenades, the thrill of stepping on a mine or booby trap, the casualties.” —Naval War College Review “Ron Flesch has done an excellent job of describing his experiences as a rifleman in “Delta” 1/9 from 1965-66. Vietnam veterans will appreciate its accuracy and honesty, unlike so much that has been written previously.” —Leatherneck, The Magazine of The Marines
