Tiger Force (Abridged): A True Story of Men and War Audiobook

" A good read that held my attention, and moved quickly. The authors did not spend an overly abundant amount of time on the causes of such cruelty. Rather, they pieced together a good story from multiple interviews. "

" great read, honest description of war. "

" Disturbing and provocative. Very insightful into some of the happenings in the Vietnam War. A war that I know very little about. "

" My Dad had me read "Strong Men Armed" I learned so much and had a whole new appreciation of my Grandfather and his life in service. However, This book is about a platoon and their atrocities in Vietnam. It didn't sink in until Chapter 12 when I realized it wasn't just a few random acts of violence. That's what the whole book was about, so I quit reading it.While I'm not naive enough to believe that these atrocities didn't happen, I don't want to read about them. My Dad is a Vietnam Vet, and I'm going to believe that he was one of the ones who "didn't cross the line". Not just because he's my Dad and I want to think the best of him - but because of his life since 1966. He hasn't destroyed his life drowned in Alcohol or spent it trying to forget. He's admitted it was a bad deal - he did what he had to - it was a struggle - and conscious free - his life went on. So until any military investigative reporter proves otherwise - My Dad was a good soldier. Although I hated the content, (which is deserving of one star) I gave it two stars because it was well-written, and I do feel for the innocent Vietnamese whose life were changed by those out of control in the name of war. "

" Wow! So much of Vietnam is too violent to bring to the classroom. However, this was an amazing journey through one of histories biggest government cover-ups. If you read it, be prepared for the shock value and equally prepared for the surprising consequences (or lack thereof. "

" I counldn't help but think that this would have been a great New Yorker article. I just got too bogged down inthe detail. That said, I think it was an important look into how massacres happen. "

" A book about events that occured during the Vietnam War, things no one ever hears about. "

" Very disturbing even to me. "

" Very disturbing all the way around - from what was done to the fact it was covered up. "

" Pretty good detail of the events that happened but reads more like a children's book. The authors were obviously not well informed about military hardware such as aircraft, weapons, and equipment used during that war. "
