SynopsisBonnie-Sue begins as a timeless classic, a story of men in combat. Yet, the book soars above the mud of war. The author blends detail, emotion and grim realism. Day by day, without profanity, he breathes life into a struggle for survival. Against the back drop of the turbulent 1960's, Bonnie-Sue evolves into a saga of commitment and sacrifice, love and brotherhood., U.S. Marine Corps helicopter crews found little glory waiting for them in faraway Vietnam. Instead they became locked in a savage struggle with Sino-Soviet pawns in a desperate battle for survival. The author, a former Marine helicopter pilot, uses After-Action Reports, Unit Diaries, and hundreds of records from Marine Corps archives to build the outline for this riveting chronology. Onto this framework the author weaves personal accounts from helicopter crews and infantrymen. Day by day he breathes life into this eloquent saga of Marines at war. Step through this unique looking-glass into the crucible of combat in Vietnam. Taste the danger and fear, the madness and passion. Experience the love and brotherhood shared by helicopter crews and infantrymen. Their survival became their only victory.
