Another fine book from Casemate that reads like fiction - amazing accounts of daring and courage in one of the worst wars in living history., A good story, very well told... All the adventure, drama, friendship and frustration of wartime military life are graphically presented as is even a bit of love life. His book is a good and valuable contribution to the history of naval activity in the Vietnam War., The Vietnam War has had some 'classic' books written about it...and this book will be up there with them...If you have an interest in small-scale naval actions, and the Vietnam War in particular, then this is a must-read!, "An impressively written and riveting history of what this particular area of lethal combat was like on a daily basis by a man who survived it, "White Water Red Hot Lead: On Board U.S. Navy Swift Boats in Vietnam" is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to community, college, and university library 20th Century American Military History collections in general, and Vietnam War History supplemental studies reading lists in particular. The stuff from which block buster movies are made", I comment as a former Marine infantry platoon commander. Dan's book propels you, in seconds, from the laid-back and tranquil to the chaos of a firefight. If you are seeking a realistic portrayal of combat leadership in Vietnam, this is it!, The publishing standard is very high as one would expect from Casemate and this book is a great addition to anyone with an interest in naval operations of the Vietnam War and what leading a small team of young men into combat must have been like in such a unique and challenging assignment. I highly recommend this book., This is a beautifully produced book...it's one of those reads that you won't put down once you get started...A great subject, well-written by someone who actually served., White Water Red Hot Lead is an extraordinary story of heroism and love set against a backdrop of small boat operations in Vietnam. Above all, this is a book of leadership and deserves a close read from but historians and leaders in today's turbulent world., I have to say that it is one of the most pleasant books that I have read, and the comradeship and love that these warriors felt for themselves and others is a bright ray of sunshine in a war history...An excellent book about a little known area of an almost forgotten war and one I thoroughly enjoyed. 4.5 stars., Skipper, each page brought me back to the time when we were young and strong, brave and fearless. The events from 48 years ago: Drag racing a Navy destroyer in San Diego and flying that 'last patrol, going home' flag in Vietnam. A cherished memory is being part of the crew aboard PCF 76. 'Thank you for remembering, Dan'., Daly holds a lasting fondness for his crewmen and fellow Swift Boat skippers. Through his eyes, his men saw themselves as elite sailors working hard to maintain that status. His book makes a strong case for an overwhelming sense of teamwork and dedication to duty among Swift Boat crews. Throughout the book, Daly has blended an excellent collection of photographs, most of which he shot, with the text., The author's story of his and his crew's progress, from training at Coronado, California, to combat in Vietnam, is well told. One gets a true feel for the experiences Lieutenant Daly and his men encountered during their time on the Swift Boats... Overall, the book is an enlightening read concerning Swift Boat operations in Vietnam, and the story should have relevance for those sailors currently engaged in Brown Water operations., Dan Daly's book captures the essence of the U.S. Navy small boats operations in Vietnam. Combat was never far away, we built the bonds of brotherhood, often with tears and laughter, where 'above and beyond' became the norm. You got it right. Bravo Zulu.
