Book Reviews of Guns Up!

Book Review: Inspiration
Summary: 5 Stars

As an 0331 (machinegunner) in the exact same unit several years later, this book was an inspiration to all the men in the platoon as well as Johnnie Clark being our unit hero. The book was excellently written and serves as a mirror to the bonds of friendship that develop in the small units of the U.S. Armed Forces

Summary of Guns Up!

2 Cassettes, 2 hrs. abridged
Read by Jimmy Starace

THIS GUT-WRENCHING FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF THE WAR IS A CLASSIC IN THE ANNALS OF VIETNAM LITERATURE.

"Guns up!" was the battle cry that sent machine gunners racing forward with their M60s to mow down the enemy, hoping that this wasn't the day they would meet their deaths. Marine Johnnie Clark heard that the life expectancy of a machine gunner in Vietnam was seven to ten seconds after a firefight began. Johnnie was only eighteen when he got there, at the height of the bloody Tet Offensive at Hue, and he quickly realized the grim statistic held a chilling truth.

The Marines who fought and bled and died were ordinary men, many still teenagers, but the selfless bravery they showed day after day in a nightmarish jungle war made them true heroes. This new edition of Guns Up!, filled with photographs and updated information about those harrowing battles, also contains the real names of these extraordinary warriors and details of their lives after the war. The book's continuing success is a tribute to the raw courage and sacrifice of the United States Marines.
