The Facts Behind the Fiction
James R, Reeves wrote this authentic, gripping novel about the experiences of his friend, James C, Taylor, a former SEAL. Mekong! is based on Taylor's story, as told to Reeves in many conversations and taped interviews, Taylor's nightmares and flashbacks have been greatly reduced by the telling of this story, Read this in high school before I went into the military, If you like military stories, this is a GREAT read, Non fiction and very well written, it's funny, terrifying, and heart breaking all wrapped up in one book,

For a guy who wanted nothing to do with combat in Vitenam, but also didn't want to dodge the draft, this poor SOB ended up at the tip of the

spear and neck deep in some of the darkest compbat of that war.


His incredible story of how he got there and the mere handful of missions he writes about in the book made this one of my favorite books about the war in Vietnam and the soldiers who fought there.
