Reviews
"Johnston's account is deeply personal... [He] recounts his extensive combat service from the perspective of what he terms a 'flat-trajectory Marine,' that is, one who was constantly exposed to the direct fire of enemy weapons... He brings forth a vivid picture of the ordeal he lived-the brutality and terror of close combat, the anger and frustration of watching buddies die in extraordinarily ghastly fashion, the filth and mind-numbing weariness of an infantryman's existence."-Marine Corps Gazette Marine Corps Gazette
