Eyes Behind the Lines

L Company Rangers in Vietnam, 1969

De: Gary A. Linderer

Narrado por: David Colacci

In mid-December 1968, after recovering from wounds sustained in a murderous mission, Gary Linderer returned to Phu Bai to complete his tour of duty as a LRP. His job was to find the enemy, observe him, or kill him - all the while behind enemy lines, where success could be as dangerous as discovery.

If you were there, you will get

I was stationed in the same area 1 year later doing something different. This is a thoughtful deeply personal of what many of our generation went through. Thank you sir, it brought tears to my eyes.

Good Book

I liked the Diary format and the detail of the missions. It got me listening intently as the writer described moving through the jungle, or overnight in a defensive perimeter and hearing enemy movement.

A great listen

This book is like a diary each chapter is a day of the author’s Vietnam tour Another honest account by a a very brave man who reveals his fears that accumulate with each Ranger/LLRP mission And the end reveals the long term consequences of the service and makes feel very bad that our country did embrace and honor the men who served in combat in Vietnam They were as good as soldiers this country ever sent into harms way

Great story with just enough humor

I have loved Vietnam books since I was a kid and I don’t know how I’d missed this one

Raw

Struggles portrayed in this story are objectively and honestly recounted! Truth is always scarier than fiction. Humility and patriotism!

Enjoyed

Enjoyed very much. Hope u all will too. Dont be afraid to purchase. Perfect way to help work day

Great reflection on a year in Vietnam

the narrator is easy to listen to and recounts the events in a very heart felt manner.
I really appreciate the insight to this rangers year in Vietnam. His epilog is right on,and the more we understand of this time the better we can separate the politics from the soldiers on the ground.
thank you for your service and sharing your experience.

great read

great stories and narrator. also highly recommend Linderers other book as well. very good author

Damned good book

I have always enjoyed first hand narratives of war experiences and the author did an excellent job describing his time in Vietnam. The LRRP's and Rangers were phenomenal warriors and I have the utmost respect for what they accomplished. Additionally the narrator did an excellent job.
Stay a LRRP, stay alive. Airborne.

Great read

This is a great follow up to the first book. Loved it! Highly recommended to all with an interest in the Vietnam war.
