This third book in the "Vietnam" series follows another young man, Rudi, from the group of four best friends; the book works well as a stand-alone. Rudi is drafted as a Marine and believes in the cause and in the Corps. Although disallusioned when he realizes that many of the Marines in his unit bend the rules and don't follow orders, Rudi finds strength he didn't realize he had to soldier on and do the right thing. There is violence appropriate for the combat setting and a good look at the psyche of soldiers under pressure and under fire. Great historical fiction for teens.
My son who hates reading loves this series. His 6th grade teacher allows the kids to chose their own reading material for monthly book reports and projects. So happy we found this author and series of books to keep my son interested and engaged in reading.
Not the brightest or strongest, not an alpha back home, his hated nickname Rudy Judy, in Vietnam he is mostly goes by his marine nickname Cabbage. Rudy takes to soldier life, and he does his job, and kills the opposing side with relish. Middle school students wanting a little adventure historical fiction, war type story, will find this fine. The two or or three battle scenes are sufficiently gory, and Rudy enjoys his job almost a little too much, as his friend Morris worries on telephone with Rudy.
Vietnam free fire zone is a good book it a chapter book about this us marine named rudi my favorite part was win the drove a m-113 armored troop carrier. Which is farther in the book.This is a book for 8 and up but it's because it a chapter book. It.s about war so it includes guns bombs missiles ya. I give it four stars.
The best book I have ever read. Your heart is racing every minute of the book. Your thinking whose going to get it or is he going to die and why would they do that and all of it is true but the characters are fictional yet awesome and would be just like real people. That is why you should get this book.
I read number 3 first for some reason. I really liked the book and have now downloaded number 1.One reviewer said there wasn't much of a story line. There doesn't have to be blood and guts every minute. The story line goes far deeper than just the war. As for reviewers not liking Rudi, Rudi became a warrior, evolving from a wimp. This country would be a better place with more warriors and fewer effeminate men.
This is an okay book. There is not much story line here, just a brutal description of what war is like. Rudi was the character I liked the least but he is probably the most human. It's hard to watch what war does to him. I do not know where Lynch is taking the series, but the book was good enough for me to want to read number 4.
This was the best of the three Vietnam series books. This was the awesomely awesome book ever. Rudi was my least favourite character, but he was the most realistic. It had scenes of action terror and adventure as a small squad of soldiers becomes cold hard warriors. Epic.
