I have read them all from Clancy to Brown and LtCol.(Ret) Scott is by far one of the best military writers to date. My father served in Vietnam and after he came back my mom said he was never the same and I always wondered what it was like, why men like my father and Col Scott, why they went when they were called knowing they might not return and those that did would be forever altered. I joined the infantry at 17 to see for myself and after serving in Panama and Somalia I understand. Col. Scott says it best in the books with way he connects you to the characters you come to realize they did it for the men to their left and their right, not so much for America, but the men who represent America. Sad to know that he won't be writing anymore books but the four vietnam books he wrote are some of the greatest military fiction ever written and in my opinion should be required reading for all young soldiers and leaders.

The Last Run by Leonard B. Scott was a amazing. He can really show a detailed look into a Ranger unit because he was there. His stories are geographically correct also. The villages and landmarks are all there. Vietnam was not a war that was widely accepted and Mr. Scott shows this. Also, he shows a perspective from the North Vietnameese Army. This is especially neat because the stories converge in the end. The suprise ending has really built throughout the book. A reader must carefully read because the details are important in the end. I recomend this book to anyone joining the military and any history nuts. Read this book to find the suprise ending

Once I read The Last Run, I couldn't help but read all of Col. Scott's books. I went back and started with Charlie Mike. As a woman affected by the Viet Nam war on the home front, the books gave me insight into many of the views my peers who spent time on the front lines still hold today. The Colonel is an incredible author. I would like to see another book soon!

A WELL WRITTEN NOVEL. IT ANSWERS THE QUESTION 'WHAT IS HELL REALLY LIKE?' VERY INTERNAL, IT'S LIKE YOU KNOW THE CHARACTERS. CRYING IS UNAVOIDABLE AT THE END.
