What a fine memoir This authentic book captures what it was like to be a combat Marine infantryman in northern I Corps during the Vietnam War The author has done an excellent job and as a former Marine officer and combat veteran of Vietnam including a big operation in the mountains of western I Corps I found Loon to be a page turner a well written memoir for the reader s permanent library Dan Guenther former Captain US Marine Corps
>> Outstanding
Loon was a book that transported you back to the era and was difficult to stop reading at any given point It s the way it was during that time period It brought back many memories I highly recommend it
>> The book consumed me
Jack McLean s memoirs brought forth an interesting story of his life from adolescence to manhood He makes the reader feel as though they were there right along with him on his journey through school boot camp and Viet Nam To hear the truth from someone who gives an honest account of what really happened in Viet Nam was effective and mood altering It gives one a sense of pride to be an American I ve waited 42 years to hear the truth I would love to read another book by this author I would like to thank him his comrades and his fallen brothers for their commitment to the American people True patriots
The book was intriguing
