Summary: Outstanding!
Comment: This book is a brilliant account of a young Recon Marine's experiences in Vietnam. The saga is presented by eloquently interweaving Vietnamese folklore and history with powerfully gripping images of a small Marine Recon team's efforts to complete its missions while having to prevail in the face of overwhelmingly large enemy forces and the relentless environmental hardships of the unforgiving battleground. The author chronicles the truth of what he saw of war and death with great pathos. He treats his adversary with reverence as equally worthy warriors who suffer the same as he. The author's lyrical style and exquisite use of language create powerful images that will grab and move you. This book takes you into John Edmund Delezen's mind and body as he experiences the overwhelming sights, sounds and smells of jungle warfare and the death that lurks within. This book will be an invaluable asset to any educator's library.

Summary: A disturbingly powerful and impressionable recollection
Comment: Eye Of The Tiger is the personal memoir of John Edmund Delezen (a United States Marine from the Third Force Recon Company) relating his experiences while in service during the Vietnam War. In the course of a year and a half, Delezen was stricken with malaria, wounded by a grenade, hit by a bullet, saw friends die, witnessed horrible acts of brutality, endured hunger, pain, and worse, in a deadly war which was to become renowned for the suffering it inflicted upon the minds and bodies of its participants. A disturbingly powerful and impressionable recollection, Eye Of The Tiger is a welcome and appreciated contribution to the growing library of Vietnam era military memoirs.

Summary: Perhaps the best new writer.....
Comment: In my opinion the author is one of the most exciting writers to emerge from nowhere in many years. His use of unique prose is extremly refreshing.
How sad that this is such an obscure piece of literature. I feel that if it finds a larger audiance it will develope a following. I found the book by accident and have read it through a number of times; with each reading I discover fresh passages hidden within poetic prose.
I am a published poet with a number of collections to my credit; I recommend this work highly. It is not a "war book" but a lesson in life.
