About this listen
Because it’s a novel, the truth can be told. Because it’s the truth, you’ll never forget it....
Gene Wentz's Men in Green Faces is the classic novel of Vietnam that inspired a generation of SEALs. Here is the story of a good soldier trained to be part of an elite team of warriors - and of the killing grounds where he was forever changed.
Gene Michaels carries an M-60, 800 rounds, and a Bible. The ultimate SEAL, he also carries a murderous grudge against a bloodthirsty colonel who was once one of their own. To bring him in, Michaels and his men will go behind the lines, where they’ll take on 5,000 NVA in the fight of their lives. In this stunning novel, former SEAL Gene Wentz brings to life what it was like to be a SEAL in Vietnam, running an endless tour of top-secret, death-defying operations deep in enemy territory. From the camaraderie to the harrowing recons, from brutal interrogations to incredible, toe-to-toe firefights, here are America’s most feared warriors as you’ve never seen them before.

“Brilliantly gripping”....
A truly great book, this was one of the first books I ever read on Vietnam an was hooked on special forces auto biographies. Any one with a licking of this subject will appreciate this one as it is one of the best to come out of this theatre of war. It’s narrated very well also.....‼️ 👳🏾♂️💥🔫🐸😂🤣💥💣🍀

Vintage SEAL memoir
This is set in the Mekong delta and portrays the riverine activities of the 'brown river navy'.
It is written in the 3rd person, presumably as Wentz is a SEAL not a writer. This is OK, but i found myself wondering how much of the action was 100% accurate as a result.
It's written like most of these books in a mix of hoo-rah chest beating and God and country ideals. Normally I don't find this as distracting, but here it grates a little. Perhaps due to the 3rd person?
Overall it's a good addition to the genre, but not the best about the SEALs in Vietnam (SOG: the secret wars of America's commandos in Vietnam is a good recommendation, but not available from Audible).

Sorry what was this about again?
Ok so listening to the intro this book had so much potential in store yet I found this a very disappointing book. I found myself lost between scenes and unfortunately quite detached for the main character. So I generally found it hard to stick with. The overall setting and its missions were good however also were the descriptions of the weapons used that why ive given the performance a higher score.

Garbage
For such a highly recommended book this is a complete let down. It reads like a script for a Rambo movie and is on a par with John Wayne's Gteen Berets as a dreadful piece of gung-ho propaganda
Having read Nick Brokhausen's books this pales into total insignificance.
