I think that it was a worthwhile task actually getting the memories of four US Marine veterans down on paper, as these are the people who were actually there. Bearing in mind that these Gentlemen were in their 70s when the author interviewed them, it is not really surprising that their stories are a little bit disjointed. This made the book as a whole quite difficult to read as there was no real continuity.
