PLATOON LEADER(ISBN=9780891418009) 英文原版 pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　A remarkable memoir of small-unit leadership and the coming of

age of a young soldier in combat in Vietnam.'

"Using a lean style and a sense of pacing drawn from the tautest

of novels, McDonough has produced a gripping account of his first

command, a U.S. platoon taking part in the 'strategic hamlet'

program. . . . Rather than present a potpourri of combat yarns. . .

McDonough has focused a seasoned storyteller’s eye on the details,

people, and incidents that best communicate a visceral feel of

command under fire. . . . For the author’s honesty and literary

craftsmanship, Platoon Leader seems destined to be read for a long

time by second lieutenants trying to prepare for the future,

veterans trying to remember the past, and civilians trying to

understand what the profession of arms is all about.”–Army
