Men In Green Faces: A Novel Of U.S. Navy SEALs (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
While an interesting subject I found this book repetitive and hard to stay engaged with. The characters were pretty flat. The story is basically go out on an op, come back, fart around, go on another op ad nauseum. The lead character of the book was clearly the author and he really thought highly of himself. I also found it irritating how pious the guy was supposed to be when all he wanted to do was kill people. Read for insights into seal ops in nam rather than for a real story. If you want an experience that will take you directly into the Vietnam conflict through the eyes of a Navy Seal who lived it, read this book. A fictionalized account of his time "in country" its unlike any other book I've ever read on the subject. Villans, heroes, folks on the line of both, and innocents all mix together in the sweltering Mekong delta, plus one Seal struggling to keep his faith in God. I read it in one night!
What do You think about Men In Green Faces: A Novel Of U.S. Navy SEALs (2012)?
Started out a little slow. Got much better about half way through and the ops were pretty intense.

Not sure if this story is all "true", but incredible account of Navy Seals in Vietnam
