My War in the Jungle: The Long-Delayed Memoir of a Marine Lieutenant in Vietnam 1968–69
This memoir tells the story of a Marine rifle platoon commander’s time in the mountainous jungle of the northernmost province of the then Republic of Vietnam.While tasked with fighting the enemy, G.M. Davis made some great friends … but saw too much death.The author tracks his tour of duty in the jungle, leading Marines not against the Viet Cong but against the North Vietnamese Army, a well-trained and well-supplied professional army dedicated to unifying the two Vietnams.The heat, the worry, the responsibility and the daily grind took a toll amid firefights, battles, victory, and loss. Contact with the enemy was frequent, and the chaos of even a small fight was daunting.Davis also examines the political reality of the time, arguing that the war was lost before it began, but that the nation kept fighting and losing soldiers so politicians could look strong and keep their jobs. Looking back at the war, he concludes it was a waste of lives and treasure.

Thank you for your service and welcome home.
I very much enjoyed reading your book. Thank you for sharing your memories from your time in service and Vietnam. I’m thankful you were able to return to Vietnam and revisit the areas where you spent so much time with your men. I hope you will receive some healing from your time there. Prayers.

Vietnam war memoir
The author has written a compelling book about his experiences in Vietnam and recounts his time, as a Marine Officer. The book tells it like it is, however, painful it is to recount all of the memories from over 50 years ago. It is a solid book and the author has immortalized his unit, his people that didn’t come home, and his feelings about government leaders that continue to send our young men and women off to war, without any chance of winning. I highly recommend this book. I say welcome home and “Odaat.” Peace Brother.

Excellent
An unusual approach to opening a file, telling the heartfelt and honest story with the mindset of a twenty-two year old and then neatly wraping up the analysis of the different components of a life lived after the experience with the different but controlled mindset of a seventy three or four year old examining the realities.
The honesty of thought and expressionless was clear...and appreciated.
Personally, I am in complete agreement with you Mr D...!
Good job and a sincere thanks for your service.

Fantastically well written and truly authentic
As an ex platoon leader and reader of certainly over one hundred books on the Vietnam war, this one communicates the war and post war experience so very very well, one of the very best.

I found G.M. Davis' book to be engaging and poignant.
I very much enjoyed his style of writing and the accounts of his
experiences were both interesting and engaging.
Just as no one knows what the experience of being a Marine is like except those have experienced
being in the Marine Corps, clearly it is the same for those who have experienced combat.
Marine Davis shows how important it was as a platoon commander to be prepared to lead his
Marines, failure to be, clearly had consequences. While Mr. Davis does not particularly dwell
on the relationships he had with his Marines, certainly he suffered when those under his command
were injured or killed.
As his recounting of his experience closes I suspect that he suffered the consequences of unacknowledged grief, a known factor in contributing to PTSD, which many combatants
developed from their Vietnam experiences.
For most Marines it is a lifetime experience. There is great truth in the saying "Once a Marine,
Always a Marine". I feel sorrow for the men and women who came back from Vietnam and
have struggled greatly the consequences for having done what they were called upon to do.
I found it ironic as I was a Marine from 1960 to 1964 when I returned to civilian life. I remember
watching the combat in Vietnam especially during the Tet offensive of 1968. Night after night of seeing americans fighting in and around Hue. It was so vivid to me that I began to have nightmares of being in combat. I saw in my dreams former friends being killed, and even once found myself
wounded. I would wake up from these dreams feeling guilty for not having been with my friends.
I have never forgotten these dreams and that feeling.
As to Mr. Davis observations re. the politicians and politics of that era, I find my self pretty much
in agreement. And from my perspective some 50+ years later, not much has changed in the US
political world. War and its' consequences will probably be here until most of the world as we know it is long gone.

3\9, 3rd Marine Division, Lima Co
As a 60 mike mike gunner with 3/9 Lima Co., myself and one main ammo runner slept back to back at the gun pit. One of us was awake at all times because occasional we would drop a round on any ravine leading up to the mountain top. That call was made by the Captain down through the Lieutenant to our leader. The leader of our 60mm gun usually stayed close to the CP and radio operator. He would bring us firing orders so we had to be ready to react. Sometimes the "bird dogs" outside the perimeter line would hear NVA movement and would call for 60mm support through the CP radio. Those guys were thanking us often because they were scared and rightfully so. I often asked if I did any good and they would respond that they only found blood, feet, or hands and no bodies. The NVA always seemed to drag their dead away when possible. I would often get mad when humping all day up and down the mountainous jungle carrying the gun and plate and see 60mm canisters dropped by the trail by the riflemen of the different squads. We often carried over a hundred pounds of water, c-rats, ammo, rifles, and 60mm rounds. I also carried a 45 pistol in a leather holster along with my back pack which weighted almost as much as I did along with two 60mm rounds, one phosphorus and one (he) high explosive. I relied on the ammo runners to gather what was needed from the riflemen. I remember just about every place you identified in your book. They were good and bad memories with each place. I thought I'd seen all the death and destruction as a Marine but I became a Texas State Trooper, Texas Ranger and Captain of the Criminal Intelligence Service, Texas DPS and saw enough more death to last a life time. You brought back a lot of memories with your book. I went through a lot of what you described at the end of your book but not back to Vietnam. I do not think I could ever do that. Good read!

The War in the Jungle: The long-delayed memoir of GM Davis is a story of one Marine's experience as a platoon leader during his tour in the Vietnam War. The story is told in a broad sense - minus the minute details of his day-to-day experiences.
As an officer, Lt. Davis didn't get the luxury of spending time and chumming around with his subordinates, developing a relationship with those around him for the time he spent in the bush. As a result, he had nobody to befriend and keep the relationship going many years later. It was easy for those platoon members as they were all on equal ground. An officer could not chum around with them. Additionally, he had much more to prove to the men than a fellow soldier coming into the platoon. He was their leader and they trusted him with their lives.
The author does a wonderful job at showing readers what that job was like and what the expectations were. I also enjoyed the final four chapters where Lt. Davis talks about the next fifty years afterward. He hit the nail on the head in many examples.
A decent read for those interested in the Vietnam War from a Marine Platoon Leader's PO. Welcome home! Semper Fi!

This is an extraordinary memoir. He made clear (what I had not understood) that as a lieutenant his job was not to kill the enemy; his job was to manage and direct his men so that they could kill the enemy. The book was written as part of a therapy years later to help him see more clearly his experience in Vietnam. He has been honest about his emotions which is rare in my reading of memoirs by officers.
The line which is, so to speak, worth the price of the book, appears in the context of the author being in law school with others who have not experienced combat: "They have never lived because they have never almost-died." While I have never been in the military, I have learned that the trajectory of every addiction is always towards death, and to be in recovery is to have "almost-died." Somehow life and death are two sides of the same coin and we need to rub both sides of the coin in order to be fully alive.
I look forward to reading this book many times for the nurturance it provides.

Handsdown the best recollection of war I've read. I've read many, many books on Vietnman and as a former Marine that served there a few months after the Lt. I enjoyed reading of his service. The book is not overly detailed as you'd expect of the retelling of events 50 years prior but the feelings he felt and the fears he had are compelling. Even though he's an expert on map reading he gives us a feel for just how difficult the task was and how dangerous it was to be wrong. Retelling his experiences 50 years later has allowed him to more poignantly tell of the events that were most meaningful to him without the emotions of immediate past actions. I too returned to Vietnam (2005) and share the observations of Mr. Davis and feel that had we not gone there we'd be is far better shape as a country and Vietnam would be also. A waste. Thank you Sir, for your writing your story. Semper Fidelis!

Three purple hearts and out. I've read gritter accounts, but this is from an officer who fought in the jungle. It's interesting that the writer is the son of a general and it's exceptional that the general did not pull any strings for his son. The bitterness over the politics around this war are still raw and unresolved as of this writing. The military can't win with the rules that politicians force on them. Vietnam and Afghanistan allowed fighters to regroup and rearm in 'neutral' countries. Bin Ladin hid in our ally Pakistan's country. When we went to war, the president said that there would be no place that these terrorists could hide. That wasn't the reality for either Vietnam and Afghanistan. Why do politicians waste national treasure and young lives by starting wars and then implementing rules that prevent us from winning?
I felt like the book continued after it was done. The editing was very good.

A good read
I've read dozens of blooks written by US veterans of the Vietnam War. this is one of the better ones. One lesson is that the American infantry who did most of the fighting were very isolated from the Vietnamese people. Davis spent most of his time on patrol in hilly and mountainous forests. The time spent in actual combat was multiples greater than American infantry in WWII. The strains were severe, the quality of their boots and other clothing deteriorated quickly. They were poorly supported. They doubted why they fought.
I also recommend Hornet 33 by helicopter pilot Ed Denny. The chopper crews had a very different war because they flew back to base every night. Also, Denny's book illustrates how unmotivated were ARVN and does so in a really weird episode near the end.

A Must Read For Vietnam Veterans
I was a Marine Infantryman in Vietnam in 1967, so I was ready for this book. Mr. Davis brought me back to that place that I had almost forgotten about. If I hadn't lost my leg there in combat in 1967, I suppose I would not be as bitter about volunteering to go there as I still am. But that is neither here nor there. I'm glad I read the book, especially the last three chapters. It was sad, and difficult coming home to an ungrateful country. Sadder still to place my hand on the Wall. An excellent book to be read by all Vietnam Veterans, and everyone else.

Very enjoyable book about a time and place most Americans have no idea of.
Excellent enjoyable read. Explanations included for many things that are required if the reader is not a military background person.
Shows at times how this war was very mis managed by the military leaders and politicians at home. Waste of lives on both sides of the conflict.
Highly recommended to understand the daily dangers and life of a front line combat soldier. I knew a combat vet but he wouldn't ever discuss the war....he burned the candle at both ends for most of his post Vietnam life. Heavy drinker, former occasional hard drug user. Died in the care of the VA. If you could call it care.

Everybody should read this book.
Am so glad I read this book. I was 17 years old in 1965 and it is amazing how ignorant I was. Some of my friends and classmates fought in the Vietnam war. Some were KIA. Some came home changed forever. One close friend came home and struggled mightly until about 3 years ago when he took his own life. I hope he found the peace he so desperately needed. He and I had a few discussions about his time in Vietnam and some if the things I read in Mr. Davis' book were very much like my friend's words. Thank you Mr. Davis. Welcome home and I do thank you for your service.

Very thoughtful and accurate
I in first marine recon for six months 67 to 68. Then came back to third recon for a year in 68 to 69. Third Recon covered the area discrirbed by Lt Davis. I met his father briefly at C2 as I was. taking my patrol east. Our unit had a different mission but covered the areas he did drives including Dewey Canyon. My is description to in that of the terrain and conditions are familiar. I was 19 and leading a six man team on long range patrols for months. I now sit and wonder ,but it seemed normal the. His thoughts about why we isolated on our return home is very true

I was one of the first to review this book, two years ago. I learned of it, ordered the e-book version, and read it in 36 hours. I was one of the first reviewers, and my review was evident for a while. Now, there are hundreds of reviews. I gave “My War in the Jungle” the highest scores. The writing was outstanding; the topic was familiar to me. I served in Operation Dewey Canyon, and saw the author briefly when his helicopter crash landed near my battalion at Fire Support Base Cunningham. We knew each other from high school. Very, very well done!

Intelligent, informative and reflective
A quick moving narrative telling a young
soldiers story against the back drop of the world order at that time seen from the view point of his older wiser self. I think I came away from this book a bit wiser too.
As a one time visitor to Vietnam a long time ago, names and places bought back memories of an extraordinary country
full of resourceful, resilient and compassionate people.

Sobering first person account of a war we should never forget. The bravery of any soldier astounds me.The bravery of soldiers during the Vietnam War, a war with such negative challenges, should be respected,acknowledged and remembered. Thank you G. M. Davis for your service.

Even though I was a little too young to go to war, this book took me there. I felt like I was right there next to Lt. Davis. My heartfelt gratitude for his service and all who fought in that hell.

Good book, worth a read and also puts an interesting perspective. Clearly traumatised by the events of war, I would recommend it.

A captivating read. A young Lt that was wise enough to listen and learn from his men, yet could see the bigger bigger, and survived some high octane situations. Thoroughly recommend this book.

a heartfelt read
My journey included combat in VN. A different one of Naval Aviation. But it continued for two decades shaping my life forever.
I am not capable of explaining all those experiences with the same clarity & honesty in this book. Glad I read it. As it helps handle the emotions that come tumbling out of the locked memories of the mind.
I resent we let down the SVN & neighboring countries and allowed 3.5 million to be butchered. All for domestic politics. Today we have Gen. Mille who believe betraying our allies & warriors is some how justified in lieu of resigning in their defense.
No peace for my soul. I fear for this great country and future generations.

Good book. I wish it was longer.
It occurred to me I hadn't read any good Nam first person accounts for awhile, so I read a sample and thought, "Not bad". I liked that the author wrote as much as he did on map reading, surely an essential skill for an infantry officer in a jungle environment. Another item he made certain to mention was the use of flank security. In the many books I've read on Nam I don't think I ever remember reading of those 2 areas being mentioned. I'd have liked to know more about some of the other Marines in the story, as well as, Dewey Canyon, but the author decided not to make them known. All in all his sparse style works though. A damn good read.
