Two people stand in his way. The first is a well-loved combat-weary lieutenant his own age who desperately wants out of the bush but who does not want to leave his Marines with an inexperienced and overly ambitious officer. The second is an angry leader of the company's radical blacks, who has all the political skill, savvy, and ambition of the protagonist. As the young lieutenant experiences the costs of combat, he sees the terrible results of his actions and begins to question the value of ambition and skill over compassion and heart. 538 $a Compact disc. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Vietnam $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 700 1 $a Pinchot, Bronson. $4 nrt 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20150911024526.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F827BA4859F11DFA030AD996AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
