Rick Greenberg joined the Corps right out of high school because he always wanted to be a Marine. Little did he know what it would ultimately cost him to even approach earning such a title.

After boot camp, "Greeny", as he was later known by his Recon team buddies, attended radio communication school in San Diego, California.

As a radio operator, upon arrival in Vietnam, Greenberg was both surprised and troubled when he was arbitrarily assigned to the First Recon Battalion, generally considered to be an elite unit, and normally manned by volunteers. He soon learns he must adapt quickly, or risk going home in a body bag!

The battle scenes Greenberg masterfully draws in Silent Heroes are both realistic and gripping. They can easily send cold chills down the spines of combat veterans, and dispel any false notions or glorified myths held by non-combatants.

And the reader does a very good job too.
I am not going to repeat other, well written reviews, you will not be disappointed. It does go fast at 7 hours, but worth it. I gave a 4 star overall only because in my personal opinion Whispers in the tall grass and We few by Niel Brokhausen are the pinnacle of immersive story telling and the standard for 5 stars. hope you enjoy it!

The author writes a descriptive and immersive story.

I liked the first person narrative and the details about the USMC and its recon soldiers, The tension and drama of the night patrols, and even the day-to-day routines that can be impacted by war.

Verisimilitude of the environment and the protagonists actions in the situations he encountered.
