Real War. If you want nonstop action and shooting, then I would kindly suggest that you find another book about Vietnam. This is the real day-to-day account of life in Vietnam; you really get a sense of the daily tribulations that these men went through. Even without nonstop action, I still found it to be a page turner, and finished it in two days because I grew so attached to the characters. As a young college-aged male, I couldn't stop thinking about what I would do if I was in Lt. Mellas's place, and being forced to make the decisions regarding the life and death of my men at such a young age. If you want a true perspective of war and of why men fight, then Matterhorn is for you.

Matterhorn Review. Outstanding horrifying journey that could have easily been non fiction. Leaves you with the feeling of struggling through the jungle, terrified, as well as the camaraderie, brotherhood, and exhilaration of combat. Hopefully as close as most us will ever come to the real thing. To all of our vets, but, especially those from Vietnam, I'm so sorry, and thank you from the bottom of my soul!

Matterhorn. As a marine who served from 1966-70, this book brought back many memories of the corps. The author did an excellent job describing the day to day life of a grunt marine serving in Viet Nam. An excellent read.

Matterhorn. I too served in Quang Tri Province...for the most part the book is a compilation of challenges faced by Marines and Army Infantry assigned to I-Corp. All things considered it is excellently written and allows others to understand the trials of young men battling the conditions and the enemy in a jungle environment which is often in the enemy,s own backyard!

Not worth it. I kept looking for something exciting and intriguing in this book. Something to keep me engrossed. But other than a few fleeting passages of activity, the rest was a droll series of guys drudging through swamps and leeches and heat and...nothing. It was almost like 'Friends' staged in Vietnam (sans the women and the Soup Nazi) . I finally could take no more and dropped out 1/2 way through.

Matterhorn. This is a fine book. I fought in I Corp in the area of Matterhorn in 1966. Marlantes leaves out no detail. The man was there and the terrain, fighting, bugs, fatigue…ring true. Matterhorn is a page turner I did not want to end.

Awesome. Excellent writing that took you into the battles and lives of our soldiers fighting in that war (or any war) to expose it's humanity, futility, character-building and useless death and destruction. I remember the days of the weekly body counts on the news and this exposes the insanity of it all.
