Beschreibung
Enter and Die is a true war story about Jim Milliken and the Third Platoon, Delta Company, Second/Sixtieth, of the Ninth Infantry Division and their service in Vietnam. It is an accurate account of the historical facts and the time frame in which it occurred. The first-person soldier’s narration captivates the reader by becoming emotionally involved with the members of the Third Platoon. The author describes his feelings and thought processes when he is shot, kills the enemy, and witnesses the death and wounding of enemy soldiers and comrades. The book is characterized by one memorable event after another of graphic violence, unusual experiences, and comical episodes. People will wonder how Milliken survived the war after the many near-death situations revealed in the book. Readers’ comments range from “Wow! Wow!” “Easy to read,” “The book flows well,” “Extremely emotional—I began to cry,” “The detail and present tense make one feel he is experiencing the events” to “Gripping!” “You bared your soul,” “The honesty of the writer is apparent throughout the book.”
