Great Beach Reading

I guess this is "plug week" for me, as I have another suggestion for cultural enlightenment.

This one is a terrific beach read, as I can personally attest. The title is Masters of the Art: A Fighting Marine's Memoir of Vietnam, and it is a powerful and compelling combat memoir. You can pick up a copy on Amazon by clicking here.

Full disclosure: the author, Ron Winter, is an old colleague of mine from my first newspaper job, but I haven't seen him in over twenty years. Glad he's made good use of the intervening period.

Of course, I trust that all have already read another book I have occasionally mentioned......
