À propos de ce produit

Product Information

"It's not easy to stay alive with a $1,000 bounty on your head." In 1967, a bullet cost thirteen cents, and no one gave Uncle Sam a bigger bang for his buck than the 5th Marine Regiment Sniper Platoon. So feared were these lethal marksmen that the Viet Cong offered huge rewards for killing them. Now noted Vietnam author John J. Culbertson, a former 5th Marine sniper himself, presents the riveting true stories of young Americans who fought with bolt rifles and bounties on their heads during the fiercest combat of the war, from 1967 through the desperate Tet battle for Hue in early '68. In spotter/shooter pairs, sniper teams accompanied battle-hardened Marine rifle companies like the 2/5 on patrols and combat missions. Whether fighting their way out of a Viet Cong "kill zone" or battling superior numbers of NVA crack troops, the sniper teams were at the cutting edge in the art of jungle warfare, showing the patience, stealth, combat marksmanship, and raw courage that made the unit the most decorated regimental sniper platoon in the Vietnam War. Harrowing and unforgettable, these accounts pay tribute to the heroes who made the greatest sacrifice of all-and leave no doubt that among 5th Marine snipers uncommon valor was truly a common virtue.

  • Good, tells it as it was.

    Very few who were in Nam have the courage, determination or wish, so as to write about their experiences. I do not blame them. some lived near perfect air conditioned & well fed lives. Some smoked a lot of dope & were bombed a fair bit of the time, others went through hell knowing everything that could happen. At times living like pigs, not knowing who was friend or who was foe & even finding that the supposed friend could put a bullet through your back, or frag you with no understanding as to why. Different things took place in different Corps, but you could be killed or wounded anywhere, when out country especially, from north to south. This book comes to telling you how things were really like at the 'sharp' end & it pulls no punches. Ever try pushing a mans intestines back into a mans ...

  • Disappointing Read

    What a dissapointment. Having read other excellent books on the Vietnam War, I expected 13 Cent Killers to be of the same high standard. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The author felt it necessary to heap lengthy praise on the US Marines in general and certain snipers / leaders in particular at regular intervals. Even when describing a battle, he would deviate off-course in order to first heap praises on some or other individual. On other occasions he deviates in order to expand on his opinion of the leadership and their interests. The actual battle descriptions are few and far between. There is also much repeition of matters that he had mentioned previously. Even the name, "13 cent Killers" is spattered liberally throughout the book. To sum it up, this book was a ...

  • Great read

    One of those books you wish it wouldn't end. Joined the Marine Corps when I was seventeen during the Korean War. Wanted to do my part. This book brought back fond memories of the training, the traditions, the commitment and above all, the brotherhood. Once a Marine, always a Marine Semper Fi.

  • Real story, real heroes, excellent book!

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have had the distinct pleasure to visit with John Culbertson, Tom Casey and Ron Willoughby. All of these men are heroes in my book. This narrative describing their tour in Vietnam is right on the money. If you want to read a story of what is was like, you will enjoy this. John Culbertson also shares some of his personal views, but they are his and do not take away what these men did as a unit and their missions. I happen to agree with his points but that is irrelevant. The danger and sacrifices all our soldiers put into that war without support from their government, press or people is a black mark in our country's history, more than John's opinions.

  • Pretty good read

    Good book if you really like the Vietnam War and history of snipers.
