A Brutally Honest Vietnam Experince July 2, 2008
Special Forces Recon Radiomen lasted 6 months in the bush. Two years later 3 purple hearts.
"I was lucky because I was wounded over there and in a hospital for
a very long time, I had a chance to get my head on straight before
returning to the real world".(page 165)
White Hot And Red is the Vietnam lottery for wounds. Does your life bleed out onto the jungle floor or receive a seared steaming reprieve from death.
Hard to put down June 10, 2008
It was hard to put the book down once I started reading it. It was interesting to read it from the point of view of a young 17 year old and the accounts of what they were living through at the actual time. It is sad and heart wrenching and other times humorous.
A Great Recount of a Marine's Vietnam Experience May 15, 2008
A Great Read... Couldn't put this book down!
Thanks to his personal diary the author kept during his Vietnam service, the author depicts a first-hand account of his personal struggles, events and experiences of the Vietnam War. The author is able to bring the reader as close to this war as possible without having to duck due to "Incoming!". The author confronts and shares the horrors that few of us will ever exeperience in a lifetime. Thanks for your service to our country... Vince is a true hero. Semper Fi!
 Captivating, Genuine, and very Intense May 14, 2008
Carmack's recollection of his two 13 month tours are very detailed and provide the reader with a real sense of being in the moment. The author takes you thorough his Vietnam experience, beginning as a Marine at the age of 17 during the height of the conflict in 1966. This is no Hollywood movie set; it's the real deal.
WHOA May 13, 2008
I read this book from cover to cover in one day. I couldn't put the book down. The accounting Vince gave scared the hell out of me. White Hot and Red is a telling account of the horrors of the time. I have a new found respect for our soldiers. Thanks Vince
