This book really puts you there! The author did a good job of helping me visualize the experience! I recommend this book.

A solid memoir, but I’ve read better accounts of Vietnam. McDonough’s experiences are interesting, but the narrative felt somewhat detached. Still, worth a read.

A raw and unflinching look at leadership in Vietnam. McDonough’s honesty is brutal, yet compelling. Some parts were slow, but overall a powerful read.

A decent war memoir, but I struggled to connect with the author. The events are well-described, but the emotional impact was lacking for me.

Gripping! “Platoon Leader” puts you right in the jungle. The author’s vulnerability is what makes this a unique and impactful war memoir.

Good but not great, detailing the harsh realities of war. I found the writing style straightforward but wished for more emotional depth from the author.
